Before your child starts at Breakfast Club and After School Clubs

Before a child is admitted to Breakfast Club or After School Club, a registration form must be signed, completed and returned to the school office.  The child must be currently attending full time at St. Jérôme Church of England Primary School from Reception – Year 6. The registration form is available from the school office.

The parent / carer must inform Breakfast Club staff of any specific dietary requirements, food preferences or allergies.

Our Breakfast Club

A parent / carer signs each child into Breakfast Club or during the pandemic a member of staff will sign your child in.

Healthy, nutritious food is served for breakfast.  Breakfast Club provides a varied menu of cereal with toast and jam, milk and fresh fruit juices.  Eating breakfast has shown to improve children’s problem-solving abilities, memory and concentration.  Attendance at Breakfast Club also helps children to start the school day punctually and calm and ready for learning.

We offer children a variety of activities that they may wish to participate in before school.  We have many board games, books, construction sets, toys for them to play with.

Our After School Club

The club operates from the end of the school day until 6.00 pm every school day.  Children can be collected any time up until 6.00 pm. On the last day of terms do check carefully as After School Club may close early on those days.

A register will be taken at the beginning of the session and parent(s) / carer(s) will be required to sign child(ren) out when they are collected. Children will be provided with a drink and snack during the session.

There are also lots of board games, books, construction sets, toys for children to play with, and a DVD is available together with the opportunity to continue learning in French and English.

In the summer months the children can use the playground and there are a variety of toys and equipment for outside play.

Collecting your child from our After School Club

We want accept that sometimes things go wrong and you get stuck at the office or in traffic.
However we want our staff to be able to enjoy their evenings and therefore our After School Club closes promptly at 6:00pm.

It is worth making a plan, in advance, of who can collect your child if you can not reach the school before 6:00pm. Do make sure that the school knows this person has your authority to collect your child.
