After School Clubs
About our After School Clubs
Our After School Clubs run every Monday-Thursday. We have a variety of clubs to cater for all children of all abilities and interests. The clubs are booked and paid for through Arbor on the ‘Activities’ section and they will be refreshed each half term. Clubs run on a first come, first served basis so please make sure your child is booked onto the club as soon as possible to avoid disappointment. Please bare in mind there are a limited number of places for each club and when the limit is reached the club will be closed to new bookings. We do not hold waiting lists for the clubs but we will send out an e-mail each half term advising of any new clubs and the dates of when you can book on for the next sessions.
Clubs run every week of the year EXCEPT the first and last week of the Autumn Term (September to December) and the last week of the Summer Term (July) although we may have to cancel, or alter them, for School events e.g. for Parents’ Evening. All children participating in Afterschool Clubs are to be collected from the Key Stage one yard with the exception of Year 5 and 6 football who will be released from the MUGA.
Our clubs are accessible for all children so please contact us if you feel there are any barriers to your child attending.
If you would like your child to join a club with spaces within the term, after they have started, please contact the office and we can amend the price option to reflect the number of sessions to pay for.
If you have any suggestions or ideas about new clubs which you would like to have in school then please drop us an email on: [email protected]

Further Information:
Absence: Please let the office know (with plenty of notice) if your child will be unable to attend a session. This forms part of our safeguarding procedure.
Cancellations: We require the coaches to give us 24hrs notice but sometimes this may not be possible. Rarely do we cancel club sessions and wherever possible we will replace the session with another activity in the school. When this is not possible we will inform you in advance so that you can make alternative arrangements for the care of your children. Unfortunately parents who do not promptly pay for their child’s attendance at a club will be asked to withdraw their child from the club. We are unable to provide refunds once your child has booked onto a club, unless there are exceptional circumstances. If school cancels a club we will refund or offer an alternative if we can.
Important: Children in KS1 (Reception to Year 2) will be collected from class at the end of the school day by a teaching assistant and taken to their after school club; parents are asked to pick up children promptly at the end of the session.
