After School Clubs

May we please remind you that your child should attend each week and if for some reason they have to miss a session a note should be sent in to their class teacher that  day. Clubs finish at 4.30pm Monday to Thursday and at 3.30pm on Friday -please ensure children are collected on time.  

Uniform for Clubs - Reminder

All children should be wearing their PE kits for both morning and after school clubs. For football, they are able to wear shin pads and football socks if needed. If children come home in their kit, please can it be sent back into school, so that they have it for their PE lessons and yoga that week. 

Reminder For Parents

If your child injures themselves outside of school i.e in a sporting activity or even whilst playing and they required hospital treatment  or a GP visit to check the injury, please come into the school office on their return to school so that we can assess if we need to put measures into place to help them whilst in school. 

If the injury happens at school, and we are aware of it, and would naturally follow up a child's well-being and the outcome of any doctor or hospital check. However, if it happens outside of school hours we would not necessarily know which is why it is very important to come into the office to pass on such information. Thank you.
