Extended Schools

Our Breakfast and After School Provision offer before and after school childcare in a relaxed, happy and safe environment, whilst at the same time, promoting the same high values and ethos provided at Leigh Academy Cherry Orchard.

In addition, we offer several different Key Stage After School Activity Clubs each term, to give your child the opportunity to try different sporting, leisure and learning activities. On-line registration is required on a term by term basis 

Our wraparound care and Activity clubs are booked on a termly basis through My Child at School.  Extended Schools is managed by Mrs. Williams (FLO) and Mrs. Allen (Office Manager).

REGISTRATION

Registration and payment should be made in advance of the each term on MCAS. Please register stating the sessions or clubs you would like your child/ren to attend. If you are paying by childcare vouchers, please select the 'offline payment' option, pay in the normal way into Cherry Orchard Bank Account and your account will be reconciled once the payment has been received. Ad-hoc sessions for childcare may be accepted mid term - if there is availability - but must be requested in advance at least 48 hours prior,  via Extended Schools. An order will then be created on MCAS. 

PUPIL PREMIUM FUNDING

 If your child is entitled to PPG, you can book your Activity Clubs at a discounted rate.  Simply book in the usual way and select the ‘offline payment’  payment option to avoid disappointment.  Notify Extended Schools, who will then manage the process and send you an order to pay on MCAS.  

ACTIVITY CLUBS

In addition, we also offer a wide range of after school activity clubs every day of the week for each key stage.  These includes both in-house clubs that reflect their skill set and interests, as well as clubs facilitated by outside providers such as Dartford Football Club, Sly Dance Moves Street Dance Club and our latest Bollywood Dance Workshop by Yoshina.
