After School Club

_____________________________________________________

The After School Club is for children attending Ashton Gate Primary School.

We provide exciting and stimulating activities for children alongside free play.

After School Club is open until 6:00pm Monday to Friday. 

After School Club runs on two sites:

Reception and KS1: Caretaker’s House and School Halls.

KS2: Old Chapel Park.

If you have children at both sites, then please visit both sites to pick them up.
**We have a 3 week cancellation notice period for after school club booking – this includes Adhoc bookings.**
If you wish to cancel any bookings please contact Playcentre Manager Bella Wright.

**Nut-Free Environment**

Due to children with nut allergies at our setting, we have to remove any nutty snacks brought to the holiday club to prevent direct contact and potential allergic reactions.
This includes;

Hazelnuts, peanuts, cashews, hummus, tahini, green pesto, cereal/nut bars (Nature Valley bars) and sesame.

Afternoon Plan:

Collection: At the end of the school day, staff collect KS2 children from the Upton Road site and walk them safely to our Old Chapel Park site. Reception and KS1 children are collected from their classrooms and escorted safely to the Caretaker’s House or school halls.

Talk Time: As soon as the children arrive at After School Club, they have a talk time in their key groups where they share their news and learn about the activities for the day.

Snacks: There are two snacks during After school Club. Fruit and a biscuit snack is given during talk time and a fruit break at 5pm. Water and cups are always avaliable.

Free Play: A fundamental part of AGOSC is child-led play. The children have the opportunity for free play throughout their entire time with us. We provide various accessible resources for the children to use as they please in a safe environment.

Quiet Time: If the children need some quiet time after all the fun, they may watch TV and have quiet time from 5pm.

Activities: We provide a variety of activities each day in each are of After School Club and always include ideas from the children.

Additional Information:

Wet Weather Plan:
At AGOSC, we encourage the children to play outdoors in all weathers as long as they have appropriate clothing and it is safe for them to do so. In circumstances where we feel this is not the case, extra staff members will be in the school halls, Caretaker’s House, and middle classroom of Old Chapel Park to ensure the children can play indoors.

School Clubs:

If your child attends a club after school, please inform us and we will ensure they are safely escorted from the club to After School Club, where they will be signed in by staff and provided with water, fruit, and a biscuit.
