After School Club
Arrangements for September 2020
In September After School Club will be open but things will be slightly different.
Children will be placed into ‘family bubbles’ where children from different classes will be allowed to mix. The ‘family bubbles are: Reception and Year 1 / Year 2 and 3 / Year 4, 5 and 6. These family bubbles will be kept apart and therefore have different pick up locations.
Reception and Year 1 will be based in the Infant Hall and Infant Playground. Children will be collected using the nursery gate on Nightingale Lane.
Year 2 and 3 will be in the Dining Hall and Middle Playground Room. Children will be collected using the main gate on Nightingale Lane.
Years 4, 5 and 6 will be in the Gym and Upper Playground. Children will be collected using the Newland Road entrance.
