Dear Parents and Carers,

We have been organising our extra curricular activities for this term. We are offering a variety of enrichment activities for the children, trying to cater for a range of interests and age groups. I am sure that you will join me in thanking our great team for giving up their own time to volunteer to run these clubs for our children. The list of clubs available this term are on the reverse of this letter.

If your child would like to join a club then please log on to your ParentPay account where the clubs available for this term will be listed for you to select. To make this process fair you MUST ONLY select ONE club for your child. If you select more than one your child will be cancelled from all clubs selected.

Booking opens from Thursday 15th September at 4.00pm where you will then be able to view and book your child onto a club. As there are limited places at each club, places will be allocated on a first come first served basis. If a club is full then the ParentPay system will not let you book onto a club. If you have yet to use ParentPay and need your login details, then please call in at the school office.

All clubs will start from Monday 26^th September apart from the Y1/2 Indoor Hockey Club, which will start from Wednesday 5^th October. All clubs will run until Friday 25^th November. There will be no after school clubs on 19^th & 20^th October due to Parents Evening.

Gooch Judo will continue their sessions on a Wednesday. The first session on 28^th September will take place in the Infant Hall, all other sessions after this will take place in the Junior Hall. There is a £3 charge for this per week. There will also be a cost of £1.00 per week for the Art and Sewing Club to cover cost of materials. Payment for the full term must be made via ParentPay at the point of booking for these clubs. Please note, once payment is made, this is non-refundable so should your child be absent from school or no longer wants to go to the club, we are unable to refund this back.

Young Voices Choir- this club is in preparation for the Young Voices event so please only sign your child up to this club if they would like to attend the event. Young Voices is an exciting event, which takes place annually across the country in January or February in 2023 - date to be confirmed.  This will take place at Sheffield Arena.  The children will travel to Sheffield for rehearsals during the day and then take part in the concert in the evening (concert times 7pm - 8.45pm) returning to school by coach after. For more information, please see https://www.youngvoices.co.uk/for-parents

Once a child has signed up for a session, we do ask that children stay committed to their activity for a term and attend each week.  If for any reason they are not able to attend, please can you ensure that the activity leader is made aware.

As always, Infant children will need to be collected at the end of their after school activity. We recommend that Junior children are also picked up from their activity, but this is parental choice. Please indicate whether your Junior child will be collected or allowed to walk home on the ParentPay system when booking onto a club. Please ensure you are punctual when collecting your child at the end of the club.  Should you be late on more than one occasion then your child will unfortunately not be able to attend the club.

Best wishes
