Breakfast and After School Care

Places at Breakfast School Care and After School Care are offered on a first-come-first-served basis with the exception of vulnerable pupils receiving intervention and support from Children's Services. 

Our top priority is always to ensure the safety and wellbeing of our children and staff, and the rigorous risk assessments and processes that we have in place have enabled the school to operate safely and effectively.  For these reasons, we may need to add your child to a reserve waiting list.

Parents will be informed by letter if their child has a confirmed space at either/both Breakfast School Care and After School Care.

Breakfast School Care is available from 7:30am to 8:45am.

After School Care is available from 15:15pm to 17.45pm.

For breakfast the children are able to eat toast and cereal and a hot snack is available in After School Care.

All payments must be made in advance via bank transfer to the school bank account by 12:00pm on the Friday of the week before the place is required.  If payments are not received, then your application and booking will be withdrawn.  There is currently no provision for ad-hoc arrangements and therefore if you are unable to drop your child off at the beginning of the school day or collect them at the end of the day, you need to make arrangements for an adult to collect on your behalf.

All children will enjoy a healthy breakfast. Children will participate in a wide range of fun and creative activities that will build social skills and confidence. Children will be escorted to their class ready for the start of the school day at 8:50am.

Our aim for After School Care is to create a family experience at the end of the school day.

Activities are very much up to the children and they can choose from a range of experiences. Some, especially the older children, will do their homework; others will play games, for example chess or jenga. Others will draw or follow a creative activity.

The children lead busy lives and when the school day ends it is important that they can relax a little. After School Care provides a ‘home at school’ experience which is much enjoyed by those who attend.

Childcare Vouchers

For parents who are already in receipt of Child Care Vouchers we can accept this payment method for the Breakfast Club and After School Care.

However, the Child Care Voucher scheme was replaced with Tax-Free Childcare on 4th October 2018. To check eligibility please click here.

Use of After School Care by Other Pupils

Pupils who are not collected at 3:15pm will be looked after in the school office.

For any pupil who has still not been collected on time, parents/carers will be charged a late pick up amount of £11 per pupil. Payment should be made at the time of collection. Parents who do not pay on collection will receive an invoice. Parents will be given the opportunity to spread payment over an agreed period if necessary.

Collection from After School Care

Upon collection, parents/carers should wait at the double-doors of the After School Care area, whilst the children collect their belongings.

We would politely request that parents/carers do not enter any other areas of the school, other than the After School Care area at this time for safeguarding purposes, as the safety of our children is paramount.

Late Collection from After School Care

After School Care closes at 5:45pm.

If you have not collected your child by 5:45pm you will be charged £20 for the first 15 minutes you are late collecting your child, and increments of £20 for every 15 minutes or part 15 minutes thereafter.
