After school clubs for Summer 2022

(Please note that clubs marked with * indicate a paid external club)

Summer Term 2022 Clubs

We are pleased to be able to offer a selection of extra-curricular clubs for the children in the summer term. Please carefully read the information below and see the lists at the end.

Signing up for a club

Attached is a list of clubs that are being offered for the Summer Term.  You will be sent an invitation to sign up for clubs electronically and will be able to do so online.  Please speak to the office if you have any difficulties with this. The deadline for submitting choices is by 9am on Thursday 7^th April, so we can start the organisation prior to Easter.

Timings

School-run clubs will begin in the second week of term (week beg. 2^nd May), but please note the Monday is a Bank Holiday. Starting dates for privately run clubs may have different start times, so please check.  All clubs finish at 4:15pm unless communicated otherwise.

How will I know if my child has secured a place?

As the demand for our clubs is so big, there is a possibility that some may become over-subscribed, particularly as many clubs will have a number cap to make it manageable and safe.  In this event, after the deadline has passed we will draw names out of a hat to decide who will get the places.  Alternatively, we may group the children and offer the club to groups for a set number of weeks. We will send letters out to children if they have secured a place in the club.  A waiting list will be set up for children who haven’t secured a place.  If you are still unsure, please contact the office for confirmation.

Cancelling a club

Many clubs are run by school staff on a voluntary basis and there may need to be occasions whereby a club has to be cancelled in a particular week.  We will try to give as much notice as possible, but it is possible that a club may have to be cancelled at the last minute, due to sickness or bad weather.  Texts are sent no later than 2pm to inform you of this.

Important (some pleas from us!)

*Please ensure that your child wants to go to a particular club before you sign up.  In the past, some children have been added to a club who clearly do not want to be there.  This is unfair on the child, and also for other children who are on the waiting list.

* Please do not sign up for more than one club on the same day.

If you can’t attend a club one day

Please let the office know if this is the case, as this is a potential safeguarding issue if an expected child does not turn up. We will then not need to phone parents after school saying that their child has not turned up to a club.

External Clubs – Please note all correspondence for the below clubs are not operated through the school, but directly to the club themselves.
