School Clubs
We encourage all pupils to take part in a range of clubs and involve them in deciding the clubs we offer. Our school strives to maximise opportunities for children, young people and all those associated with the school. This includes the curriculum, environment and wider community.
Club timetables are changed each half term to ensure a wide variety of opportunities throughout the school year. The clubs are dependent on time of year, staff availability and space in school. There are usually no extra-curricular activities during the first week after a holiday or during the last week of term. Some external providers may run during these weeks to complete a block of sessions.
The dates of each club, a description of the club, who can attend, the number of spaces and the staff or provider responsible are detailed on School Spider in the ‘Bookings’ section. Parents/carers are able to book their child’s place each week. Places are allocated on a first come first served basis.
After school clubs run by school staff will be at the discretion of the head teacher. Parents will be informed of timings and options. These clubs run until 4.15pm and are not chargeable. Activities provided by outside providers will be at the discretion of the head teacher.
Some clubs may have different finishing times and may incur a charge.
Children must be collected at the notified time or they will be booked into wraparound provision and parents/carers charged for the session and a late booking fee of £5.
School reserves the right to cancel extra-curricular clubs when necessary. As a very small school, space and staffing are limited so absence or poor weather conditions tend to result in a club being cancelled.
If an extra-curricular club is cancelled, office staff should inform parents as soon as possible, but no later than 1pm, so that alternative arrangements can be made.
Registers will be taken for all extra-curricular activities, with a requirement for school to be notified by parents in cases of nonattendance.
The school reserve the right to re-allocate a place in a club (for persistent non-attendance or late collection, for example).
All staff and external providers will follow the school’s behaviour policy. The school rule (Be Respectful, Be Safe, Be my Best) must be followed during extra-curricular clubs. In the event of poor behaviour and a behaviour card being issued, the consequence will be missing a session. Further poor behaviour may result in a child not being able to attend the club.
