Easter Holiday Club
I am delighted to say that Sports Coaching Group have agreed to provide our holiday club at Easter. I am attaching a flyer from them. It appears very sport focused at first glance, but they do provide art and craft activities every day as well as a wide range of sporting activities. They are very experienced in delivery of this provision and work with a number of schools in Cheshire and Staffordshire. I have asked them to provide me with specific examples of the types of activities you can expect on a typical day. More details about how to book will follow shortly.
In addition, a questionnaire regarding holiday club provision will be emailed to all parents and carers next week.
Football Club
If any parents, carers, grandparents etc would be interested in running or helping to run an afterschool football club, and/or managing our team at a few local matches or tournaments please get in touch.
Clubs
Teacher led clubs will recommence on Monday and run to the end of term.
Wraparound Care
Our wraparound care is becoming more popular every week. We are approaching the legal ratios for the staff we have available in our after school provision. Please book on to ensure you secure a place. We are fast reaching the point of being unable to accept children who are not booked on in advance in the after school club in particular. We are currently reviewing the food options within the wraparound clubs.
Breakfast Club
From Monday (26th) February, food offered at breakfast club will be fruit, brown toast, Weetabix and multigrain hoops.
Regards,
Mr J Gordon
