Breakfast Club
At breakfast club this term, we have been promoting independence. The children have been encouraged to pour their own cereal, butter their own toast and pour their own drinks. We have been on hand to help with these tasks and to support your children when developing these skills. They have all enjoyed the new routine and it has been lovely to see them all grow in confidence when accessing the breakfast table and also see the improvement in their fine motor and hand-eye coordination skills. If you would like to book your child onto breakfast club please do so on parentpay. The listing goes live at 3:45 every Monday for the following week.

Breakfast Club Update
Breakfast Club Update: As of next week, Monday 24th January all children who have booked a place for breakfast club should enter school via the front office entrance. Access will not be available via the KS2 yard. As your child arrives, a member of staff will tick their name off on the breakfast club register. If there is no place booked for that child, unfortunately they will not be able to attend breakfast club. We will ask parents to return with their child at the start of the school day at 08:55. If you haven't booked a space, we also have a waiting list for the week. Please contact the school office if you wish for your child to be added to the list. We also politely ask that your child attends breakfast club once a place is booked. Failure to attend will result in us offering the place to a child on the waiting list. Unfortunately we have had to make these changes as we have too many children arriving at breakfast club without booking and the numbers exceed what we are permitted to have in the hall with regards to space and staffing.
