Out of hours School Club

Out of Hours school club

 St James CE Primary Academy's, Out of School Club is Governor run and Managed by the Executive Principal.

We currently provide care for up to 16 children between the ages of 4 and 11 years of age.

Places are offered on a first-come first-served basis. When all places have been filled a waiting list will be established.  Places will be offered in line with the school policy with priority being given to siblings of children already attending the club and those requiring the greatest number of sessions/hours per week.

Children can be collected from the club at any time from 3.30pm to 5.30pm. Children will only be allowed to leave the club with a known parent or carer as identified on the registration form. It is the parent or carer’s responsibility to inform the club if another person is to be collecting their child.  This person will be asked to provide the password given by parents during registration so that their identification can be verified.  The club will refuse collection of a child if the person is unknown to school/club staff or no permission has been given.

Please inform the school at the earliest opportunity if your child will not be attending for their booked sessions.  In line with safeguarding procedures, when a child does not arrive for a booked session, parents will be contacted to confirm the circumstances and safety of their child.

Standard pre-booked fees are £5.50 per hour after school and £5.50 for breakfast session.

Snack

Both before and after school sessions include a snack. Snacks are available for children on a rolling snack basis so children can decide when to eat. Healthy Eating Guidelines are followed and includes wraps or sandwiches with cheese or meat, vegetables, fruit and yoghurt. The children sit down together for a social snack.
