Breakfast Club and After School Club

Breakfast Club Afterschool Club

We run a Breakfast Club which opens at 8am, children can be dropped off at any time up until 8.30am and they will be served breakfast. After 8.30am, children will not be served breakfast.

Bookings should be made prior to attendance at the Club; forms are sent out via ParentMail each month.

The After School Club runs every day from 3.30pm – 5.30pm and parents pay an hourly rate for this childcare.

Bookings should be made prior to attendance at the Club; forms are sent out via ParentMail each month. Parents who are unavoidably delayed can phone the school to ask for their child to attend the After School Club; payment should be paid on or before the next day.

If parents are late at the end of the day for their child, the child will join After School Club and parents will be invoiced for the child care.

In addition, all children are issued with homework on a termly basis. Children are currently issued with a homework menu – from which they have the opportunity to choose which activities they would like to complete. Further homework is also issued, for example Literacy/ Numeracy work, spellings, times tables etc.
