Clubs and wrap-around school care

September 2020 - COVID-19 means that the arrangements for these clubs are all subject to change.  Information has been shared with parents via ParentMail; please consult the school office for more information.

Breakfast club

At school, we run a daily Breakfast Club.  At present, no booking is necessary: parents can simply arrive at the Pawsey Close entrance any time from 7:45am when the Club opens, and pay the £1.00 charge for their child's attendance (there is currently no a sibling discount in operation).  Payment in advance, to Breakfast Club staff, is also possible.

Children are looked after in the Nursery provision from 7:45 - 8:30am.  A breakfast of toast, cereals and milk is available from the start of the club until 8:15am.

Children are supervised by school support staff and Learning Mentors.  As well as having breakfast, children take part in supervised group activities, and play educational games, the aim being to set them up for a day's learning at school.

Please speak to staff in the school office for further information.

Extra-curricular clubs

Each term, we put together a timetable of extra-curricular clubs that children can participate in after school.

Unless otherwise specified, the clubs are all run by Selwyn staff, who have a particular enthusiasm for the subject/activity on offer. The timetable changes every term, to allow children to build different experiences across the year.

There is no charge for attendance at any of the clubs, which run from 3:15pm to 4:15pm, Monday to Friday. Updated termly timetables will be sent to parents via ParentMail.

Please enquire at the school office for further details and how to book. To ensure that we are able to continue to offer these opportunities, we ask parents to support the extra-curricular clubs provision by:

• Ensuring that their child attends the club(s) he/she registers for at the start of term, throughout the term, and
• That parents collect their children promptly at 4:15pm after the clubs finish. Collection arrangements will be as per the usual end of the school day.

Zones 3-6 (after school club) – after-school care from 3-6pm daily, at Portway Primary School

As part of the Leading Learning Trust, we are pleased to be able to offer after school care, from the end of the school day until 6:00pm, Monday to Friday, at Portway Primary School (also part of the trust).

Additional details are available from the school office and parents are advised of any relevant developments via ParentMail. A few key points:

• Selwyn children would join Portway children at Zones 3-6.
• The club will be supervised by specialist staff who are based at Portway Primary School.
• The maximum number of children who can attend this club on any given day is 40. Should there be demand for additional places, the Trust will try to work with parents and staff to achieve this.

We are pleased to be able to offer this high quality, affordable provision within the Leading Learning Trust.  The sessions are run by specialist sports coaches at Portway, and are focussed on developing sports skills and healthy exercise habits.  Snacks are provided.
