Breakfast and After School Clubs

Our Breakfast and After School clubs are a great facility and enjoyed by many.  Both clubs are held in Cyril’s Den (entrance is on the right hand side of the school building opposite the staff carpark). The Breakfast and After School Clubs run during term time every day, with exception that After School Club does not run on the last day of each term which is used for audit and stock take.  Cyril’s Den is always bright and cheerful with our frequently changing themed displays.

Academic Year 2023/24 After School Club will not be available on the following dates:

  • After School Club on Friday 15th December 2023
  • After School Club on Thursday 28th March 2024
  • After School Club on Friday 19th July 2024

Breakfast and After School Club is open to children of all ages across our school. It is not run by teachers so, for everyone’s enjoyment and safety, the expectation is that your child is able to listen to and follow instructions given to them. A copy of our behaviour policy is below and specifically references expectations for wrap around care. School reserve the right to refuse a place in this facility if deemed necessary.

Although the clubs are relaxed and a freer setting than during the school day all school policies, and our school values of love, hope and courage will still apply (see school website for policies).

There are two options for attending these clubs:

  1. On a permanent basis which means you have a priority place for the same day(s) each week. Every session that falls within the permanent booking must be paid for, even if a session is not  required (this includes illness and Covid related self-isolation).
  2. On an ad-hoc basis which means you can book up to the day prior to your child attending, providing there are spaces available. Payment must be made in advance of attendance and is non-refundable. These can be booked via the Schools Cash Office (Scopay) system (see below for link to instructions).

All contact details, dietary and medical information will be the same as those already held by the school, if any of these change please notify the school office immediately by telephone or email.

Permanent places

All parents who require a permanent place for their child must complete a Permanent Place agreement form, which can be downloaded from our school website. On receipt of the form we will set up the permanent booking on Scopay.  By signing the agreement you are agreeing to make regular payments via Scopay, if this is not the case your place may be withdrawn.  A minimum notice period of 20 school days is required to cancel a permanent place.  You will be liable for all fees due under the period of notice, even if your child stops attending, unless there is a child on the waiting list who requires this place.  There will be no refunds for cancelled sessions.

Suspensions
All adults and children have a right to feel safe and respected. The school has the right to refuse a child a place at the Breakfast or After School Care Club if a child’s behaviour is not in line with the school’s behaviour policy.

If your child’s behaviour warrants it due to poor behaviour choices, you will receive a behaviour notice. Three notices will result in a 10 day suspension from using this facility.

If you have any further questions please contact the School office.
