Clubs

 

CLUBS

 

This year 2023 to 2024 clubs will be listed for the entire year so you can see what is coming up. You will sign up termly (Term 1/2 then for Term 3/4 and then for Term 5/6).  However, to ensure fairness it will be via a paper slip sent home with a deadline to return it to the office.

 

Why the change?

 

When viewing the results of the Parent Survey you said you wanted more of a variety of clubs ..... 

May 2023 Parent Survey.....

So we asked the children in Term 6... all of them! They had some very interesting ideas but we listened and this year 2023 to 2024 you will see variety!

 

We would very much like to thank our staff for stepping up for our children and providing these clubs free of charge to our families on top of their very busy workloads. Thanks lovely Barming staff! :-)

Breakfast Club and After School Club:

 

Barming Primary School has provision for childcare at the start and end of the school day. This provides a secure and stimulating environment for your children. The Headteacher oversees the quality of the provision. 

 

September 2023 Prices:

Breakfast Club: £4.50

After School Club: £10

 

Please book via the WEDUC reach more parents app.

 

We currently accept: Computershare, Kiddivouchers, Edenred, Sodexo, BusyBees, Fideliti, CGPS and Government Tax Free Childcare.

 

About the provision: 

The school organises this provision for our families in order to support our working families, however, it does run independently. 

Therefore, if you have any messages for school staff (not staff working during wraparound care) can I please ask our families to go through the proper channels and contact the school directly via the following means: 

 

  • Contacting your child’s class teacher (Key Stage Leaders/ Family Support Worker etc.) via the school office or WEDUC. 
  • Emailing the school office or Inclusion Manager, Mrs Stere and stating ‘For the attention of…’ (FAO). 
  • Speaking to your child’s class teacher face to face during pick up times. 
  • Telephoning the school office. 

 

Families need to ensure that our wraparound care can meet the needs of your child(ren) as it is independent of the school and therefore additional adult support, such as key workers, are not available at this time as it is a separate paid for service.   If your child(ren) need additional support at all times or require smaller settings, we do advise you to look for alternative provision.   We know a couple of lovely child minders and we are happy to share their details with you individually, on request. 

Thank you for your support in these matters.

Kind regards

Mr C. Laker

Headteacher
