Breakfast and After School Club
Our Breakfast Club is organised and run by school staff who know our pupils well. It is open every day and can be attended by all children from F1 upwards.
The club is available from 7:45am to 8:30am at a cost of £2.50 per session.
Payment for breakfast club must be made on the school money system as we are a cashless school. If your child is entitled to Pupil Premium funding, and you would like them to access breakfast club, please speak to the school office.
We supply bagels, cereal, milk and juice.
Breakfast Club provides a warm, welcoming start to the school day where children of all ages are able to socialise together. We find that strong relationships are built between the older and younger children who spend time together in breakfast club and the presence of learning mentors and learning support staff help children to make smooth transitions from breakfast club into morning learning.
We have a wide range of After School Clubs which include sports activities, crafts, cooking, music based clubs and ICT sessions. They are led by school staff or specialists in their fields e.g. musicians, artists and sports coaches.
Each half-term we change the clubs so that children in different key stages can access a wide range of activities. The school council and parents' survey highlighted that a wider range of clubs would be beneficial. As a result of this feedback, we now offer an extensive after school clubs offer every week.
Click here for the clubs available this half term.
For safeguarding reasons, children must be collected from clubs by an adult from the main school reception, or permission must be given for children to walk home alone, before the club starts.
