During the pandemic, we have made changes to our After School care Provision. Under the current circumstances, provision will be available to those who have registered their child/children for the facility on the following basis.
We have sufficient confirmed numbers for ASC to continue through next half-term, Monday to Thursday until 5pm at a cost of £12 per session (to include a light snack)
To support the necessary separation of class ‘bubbles’ as we extend the provision to all year groups, we are having a change of venue. From 2nd November, ASC will be based in New School and making use of the ICT suite and library area. Logistically, this should make things easier than they have been this half-term.
The small school gate at the bottom of the slope will remain unlocked for parent/carer access and you should ring on the New School doorbell for attention. The outdoor lights are scheduled to come on from 4pm to ensure a safe route to and from the building as the nights draw in.
Important contact information. Please read carefully:
Please remember that if you wish to cancel a booked session and receive a refund, this must be done 48 hours in advance and by Friday 5pm for a Monday or Tuesday cancellation.

Important contact information. Please read carefully:
- In an emergency, you will be able to call ASC staff directly after 3pm on the New School number. There is no answer phone facility on this line, but ASC staff members will be about to answer your calls.
- Please note that the main school office telephone will switch to night service after 3:15pm and the answer phone will not be checked until the following morning so this number must NOT be used if you need to contact ASC staff after the school office is closed.
- If you need to contact the school regarding ASC during the day, you should still do this via the usual school office number – 01295 780270, or the ASC email address if your query is non-urgent.
- The New School number must not be used during school hours - ASC staff do not work at this time and calls will disrupt lessons.
Please remember that if you wish to cancel a booked session and receive a refund, this must be done 48 hours in advance and by Friday 5pm for a Monday or Tuesday cancellation.

After School Care
As a school we realise how important safe and stimulating child care provision outside normal school hours is for some of our parents, particularly those with work commitments. Our After School Care provision (ASC) runs every school day 3-5:30 pm (except very occasionally when school events prevent use of facilities). Based in the school hall, we provide a safe, secure and relaxed environment for up to 16 children from ages 4 to 11 years old.
On arrival, the children are able to choose from a range of structured play activities, including art & craft, jigsaws, board games, construction activities, dressing-up, indoor and outdoor sports, and time for homework.
At about 4.30pm, they are provided with a light meal, e.g. pizza and salad, beans on toast, wraps or pasta, followed by fresh fruit. They sit together for the meal and are encouraged to help lay the table and pack away.
After tea, the children are encouraged to sit for a time together before playing again - possibly sharing books and stories or playing a board game.
We try to use the outdoor space as much as possible - through the rain and snow - and with this is mind, we ask that children attending the club have a change of clothes and shoes, to avoid school uniform being damaged.
After School Care - Terms and Conditions
Our club is run every school day 3-5:30 pm (apart from occasional school events that prevent the use of facilities).
Charges and Payments
Your child’s ASC reservation needs to be booked in advance at the end of the previous term due to the 'first come first served' system we run. We will then expect you to commit to these dates except in the most exceptional of circumstances. This is to ensure that we have sufficient guaranteed funds coming in to cover running costs, including staffing.
If there are circumstances in which you need to book an additional session, you will need to do this within school hours (9am to 3pm), and make your request via the school office. We request that you do this by telephone as emails can be missed. We will then let you know whether we have spaces available and pass on the information to the ASC Play Leader.
Parents should not contact the Play Leader about additional bookings directly.
