Breakfast Club

Breakfast Club starts at 8:00am every morning for those who need an earlier drop off - or those who want to start the day with a nutritious breakfast. Children join their class at the end of the session. The Club runs term-time only. Places are limited and are allocated on a first-come-first-served basis. We do recommend booking in advance to guarantee a place for your child. If you would like to book a place for more than one child, please note that a separate form is required for each child. Ad-hoc sessions can be booked, however we cannot guarantee a place will be available at short notice. 

Breakfast Club runs from 8:00am Monday to Friday. Places cost £4.80 per day, which includes breakfast. We have toast, spreads, cereals and other common breakfast items available. Please indicate any dietary requirements when booking, so that we can ensure the options are suitable for all children attending. 

 

Mrs Beaton will collect children for Breakfast Club at the front gate. If you arrive after 8:00am, please use the intercom to announce your arrival, but please note that the school office is not in operation until 8:30am and there may be a delay as staff members will be preparing for the start of the day.

 

Places can be booked using the online form during the booking window. All bookings are for the full term and all bookings are charged, regardless of whether the child attends the session. Cancellations can be made 30 days in advance. Upon booking a place, a payment item will be added to your ParentPay account. The amount can be paid in full, or a monthly payment plan can be arranged to spread the costs over the term. Parents and carers will not be able to book new places if they are in arrears.

 

Ad-hoc bookings outside the booking window are possible if spaces are available. Ad-hoc bookings are subject to a 20% increase on the block booking prices to cover the additional administration. Ad-hoc booking for Breakfast Club is £5.80 per day.
