Dear parents 

The club booking system (SchoolCloud) is open for bookings for both after school clubs and for lunchtime clubs. If you need to be reminded of your log in details, please do let me know. 

Lunchtime clubs are free and take place once the children have eaten. 

After school clubs with the exception of lower school choir do have a charge. Clubs can only run if they have five children signed up and at the moment lots of clubs do not have five children, some do not have any.

Please note that children must be signed up to a club before they can attend, all clubs (including after school care) should be paid for, if there is a fee, at the time of booking. 

Please do check the dates a club is running when you book as some clubs (Science for example) may not run if there is an event on elsewhere. There are no clubs on 2 May (50 Birthday Concert) and 27 June (Sports day) 

Thank you.
