Key Stage 2 After School Clubs - Autumn 2019

Dear Parent,

This term, clubs will commence week beginning 16^t th September and will run from 3.30pm to 4.30pm.  The final clubs for the term will be week beginning 2 nd December. Please ensure you know the dates of clubs before signing up for them. There will be no clubs during parents’ evening week (Week commencing 21 st October).

If your child/children would like to attend a club, would you please complete the list below stating a first and second choice. I will do my best to ensure children are offered one of their choices. Children will only be offered one club. Please return slips by Wednesday 11th September and I will let you know by Friday 13^th September which club your child/children will be able to take part in.

The cost of a club is £1 per session (Children who are currently or have previously been eligible for income based free school meals pay 50p). This year Clubs will be paid in advance for the full Autumn term, which will be £10 or £5 if eligible for income based free school meals.  We use this payment to help towards the cost of materials used in certain activities and to pay for staffing for those clubs which are led by non-teaching members of staff. There will be no refunds if your child does not attend. Payment will be made using the online payments system and you will receive a text message and email inviting you to pay once your child has secured a place on the club, before the clubs commence. If you have any problems, please contact the school office.

We are very fortunate and grateful that volunteers are prepared to give up their time to lead some of these clubs. As such, before returning a slip, please emphasise to your children that if they select a club, they are expected to see it through to its conclusion. In relation to this, if for any reason they do need to miss a session, the leader should be notified in advance, preferably in writing.

Finally, as I am sure you appreciate, we expect the same high standards of conduct in clubs that we experience throughout the school day. Whilst I am sure it will not come to this, it is important to make it clear from the beginning, that failure to meet those standards could result in your child being asked to leave the club.

Please note that if your child uses the school bus service on the same evening as their club you will need to notify ‘My Bus’ that they will not travel on that day and also inform Nursery if you use their services.

Thank you for your co-operation.

Yours sincerely,

Mr Thomson
