After Schools Clubs  (Up to 5th February)

Breakfast Club continues each morning from 8.00 - 8.30am at a cost of £2.50 per child.  (Booking can be made on Parent Pay for this).  If you wish for your child to stay behind for the 2-5 clubs, the cost is £4 per hour. 

All bookings should be made via Parent Pay App by 1pm each day.

(This allows the school enough time to print a list of all pupils who are staying after 3pm so the teachers and support staff know which pupils are supposed to go home as normal on the bus or by car).

Any last minute requests/bookings (after 1pm) must be made by phone, as emails may not be read or distributed in time.  For that reason, we would ask that you make every effort to have your children booked into after schools clubs before 1pm.

The following After School / Extra Curricular activities commence next week and will run until the 6th February.  Bookings can be made via Parent Pay (although some clubs are already at full capacity).
