Dear Parents and Carers

WELCOME TO THE NEW EXTENDED SCHOOL CLUB (ESC)

Breakfast Club 8.00am – 8.55am - Monday to Friday

Breakfast Club is open to all children before school. It is a supervised club with a range of table-top activities, i.e. board games, art and reading books. A good range of breakfast options are available including cereals and toasts with various spreads.

This is a ‘pay on the day’ option and the charge for attending this club is £1.50 (whether or not breakfast is taken).

After school Clubs 3.15pm to 4.15pm - Monday to Thursday

This will be a specific activity-led club run by a member of staff. Some clubs will have a limited number of places which will be allocated on a ‘first come, first served’ basis.

These clubs will run Monday to Thursday at a cost of £2.00 per session.

For those children who need ESC provision but are unable to attend the activity club, general ESC activities will still be available.

ESC Stay and Play 4.15pm – 6.00pm – Monday to Thursday

The second part of ESC will run from 4.15 to 6.00pm Monday to Friday and will be a non-specific club with a variety of varying activities and a variety of snacks will be available.

The charge for a total ESC session (3.15pm to 6.00pm) is £5.00.

Please note that this activity is currently only available from 9th January 2017 at the Yoxford and Peasenhall site, Middleton is currently advertising for staff and hopes to provide this additional session at the Middleton site as soon as possible.

Friday Film Clubs – Fridays only

Friday ESC provision is a stand-alone club from 3.15 to 5.00pm at a charge of £3.00

This activity will involve an age appropriate movie with various drinks and snack supplied.

Late Collection

If your child isn’t collected after school by 3.30 pm, they will be placed into the after school club and parents will be liable for a charge of £2.00 per pupil up to 4.15pm

If collected late from the activity-led clubs at 4.15pm, this will result in your child being automatically added to the following full session and you will be charge the full rate of £5.00 regardless of time collected.

To Book

There will be booking sheet on display on the ESC Board outside the school office. You can book on the day or in advance.

Half termly advance booking sheets will also be on the ESC boards should you wish to plan ahead.

To Pay

All parents will be billed on Mondays for the previous week’s outstanding balance.

Tax Credits – Do you qualify?

All sections of the ESC qualify for childcare costs assistance under the current Tac Credits system. All school age pupils are eligible.

Please check the HMRC website to see if you are eligible for funding or contact the school office for confidential advice.

We hope you are as excited as us about this new provision.

Yours sincerely
