Requirements for club attendance
We do need to know who is going to each club. If your child would like to join a particular club, arrange this through the school/club provider and make sure the relevant form has been completed. Please do not just turn up on the off-chance. IT IS THE PARENT’S RESPONSIBILITY TO INFORM THE CLUB PROVIDER IF YOUR CHILD IS NOT ATTENDING.
If you need more information, please contact school or speak to the office on 01225 872185.
Some of these activities are run by the teachers and helpers voluntarily, but some clubs are subject to a charge.
Very occasionally these activities have to be cancelled. Parents will be given sufficient notice of any such cancellation. Netball and football clubs may be cancelled on the actual day of the club in the event of wet weather.
A register is taken for each club at each session. If your child has attended school and then does not attend a club for which they are registered we have a statutory responsibility to ensure that they are safe. We would therefore require that parents advise the club provider or phone the office if your child will not be attending a club on a particular day. Many thanks for your assistance.
