Fees

Where a child attends an after school activity before arriving at the club fees will be charged from the end of the school day, this secures your childs place in the event of the after school activity being cancelled last minute.

We offer nursery parents (for those that are eligible) the use of the full 30 hours entitlement from the start of term. Funded hours can be used for either the AM session 8:45am to 12:00pm or PM session 12:00pm to 3:00pm. For those parents who are not eligible for the additional hours we will continue to offer 15 hour standard places for AM sessions with the option to purchase afternoon sessions at £16.25 per session.

Parents claiming “additional” hours will be required to register via the government website to confirm eligibility and to obtain a validation code on a termly basis. It is important to note that without a validation code for the current term, the school will be unable to claim the funding for your child. Those who do not provide a code when requested to do so will be subject to standard afternoon session charge.

For further details regarding eligibility or to register, please see the official government website at: www.childcare-support.tax.service.gov.uk/.

Booking Procedure

The timeframe for booking wrap-a-round care is one day before your required booking. This is to provide
parents with more flexibility in booking your wrap-a-round care needs. Our wrap-a-round provision is capped at 16 pupils to reflect the supervision ratios required for the age groups of pupils in our setting and the current staffing available for this provision.

Payment Terms

We do not offer any credit terms for wrap around charges and sessions must be paid for at the
time of booking.

Any ‘ad-hoc or emergency’ bookings for after school club will need to be made through the school
office via telephone and the booking will be made at the discretion of a member of the Senior Leadership Team
(SLT).

Full details of payment terms can be found on the MyChildAtSchool (MCAS) app.

We are also pleased to confirm that we are now able to accept payments for Wrap around services and Nursery sessions via the Tax Free Childcare service which may be of benefit to all parents and carers.

Account Arrears/Non Payment Process

Should your account go into arrears we reserve the right to withdraw further access to our wrap around service until your payments have been brought up to date. If we exercise this right, we will endeavour to contact you by any means available to us to inform you of this and may agree a payment plan with you at our discretion.

Cancellation Policy

Any cancellations are to be made via your MCAS account online at least seven days in advance. If your child will not be attending a session and you are unable to cancel the booking via MCAS, you must inform the school office in order that they can amend the register. Late cancellations, (i.e., less than one day) will be charged at the standard rate regardless of your child’s attendance. Illness will not qualify for an automatic refund and any refunds will be made at the discretion of a member of the SLT.

Non Attendance

If your child will not be attending a booked session due to unforeseen circumstances, we ask that you inform the school office as soon as possible to enable us to keep the session registers up to date. Extended services staff will not allow children to leave unless they have permission from a parent or carer to do so. If a child is booked into extended services fails to arrive, the school will endeavour to contact a parent or carer to ascertain the whereabouts of the child. If the school are unable to contact parents or carers, the child will be deemed as missing and the school procedure for dealing with this will be implemented.

We ask that each child and their family work in partnership with staff to build a profile of achievements that supports the child on their learning journey and transition in to Primary School.
