School Clubs

School Clubs - Autumn Term 2023 - 24

We actively encourage all of pupils to take part in at least one after school club. All school led clubs are free to promote equal access. There is a charge for clubs led by Premier Sport. We talk to our children each term to gauge their interests and we choose the theme of our clubs to suit the needs of our pupils. In addition to the free after school clubs on offer, there are opportunities to access additional music lessons during the school day. These include free Brass lessons (KS2), Piano, Singing, Guitar and a Rock Band Club.

In addition to our after school clubs, Mrs Poland and Mrs Paton run a lunch time club. We know that sometimes the playground can be overwhelming for children, so this is an opportunity for them to come into a quieter area.

Children can also request to spend time in our Prayer / Reflection Area at lunch times. Whilst this area is accessible to all children throughout the day, they may request a lunch time token to have some quiet time in this area during the lunch break. 

Breakfast Club runs daily from 7:30 - 8:35am and is led by Mrs Paton and Mrs Clayson. There is a daily charge for attending, however, free places are made accessible where needed. In addition to parents requesting spaces in the mornings, the school offers spaces to children who we feel would benefit from that slower and quieter integration into the school day. Places should be booked in advance via Scopay, however, we appreciate sometimes there is a last minute need for a space, so would never turn a child away.

Play Place runs every day from 3:15 - 6pm. Play Place is an external provider and places should be booked in advance. Please see the attached page below for more information.

Welcome to Play Place Childcare Services

Play Place are a well established, family run group of nurseries and after school clubs in and around Croydon and Kent.

As of October 2019 there are five nurseries and their after school clubs in the Play Place group. They are all individual with unique qualities, but have the same core values.

• The Children are at the heart of everything we do.

• All our staff are well trained and experienced and very enthusiastic

• All aspects of the Play Place curriculum are delivered to Ofsted standards

• Our fees represent very good value for money.

• We have lots and lots of fun, come visit us to see.

In our groups we follow some basic principles

• We Promote a positive approach and an awareness of our communities. We use a workshop approach to learning and therefore promote creativity and learning through making choices.

• Our curriculum is designed to meet Ofsted standards – and our settings are rated as either ‘good’ or ‘outstanding’.

• Each child has their own keyworker who gets to know the child’s individual needs and works closely with the family.

Our groups follow these principles of the Early Years Foundation stage

• Enabling Environments

• Unique child

• Positive relationships

• Learning and development

In all our settings, we promote healthy eating and snacks. We also cater for special diets.

All the nurseries and after school clubs have a large selection of toys, equipment and resources – so children can play in a happy and safe environment.

Each setting has written policies and procedures which are available for parents and carers to read, at all times.
