Information for parents
As you will be aware, our charges for Breakfast and After School Clubs have remained the same for a number of years. At a recent governor's meeting we reviewed these costs and assessed them against our increased staffing costs, National Insurance rises and the increases to gas and electricity costs which have been implemented during the last couple of years. We also compared them to the rates charged by other local schools.
We have therefore made the following decisions.
1. There will be no increase to the charges for Breakfast Club.
2. We will introduce the following charging rates to After School Club from September 2025 but will support parents by introducing an additional charging slot of ‘5.00pm’.
Breakfast Club
From 7.30am £5.75
From 8.00am £4.60
After School Club
Up to 4.30pm £5.00
Up to 5.00pm £6.00
Up to 5.30pm £7.00
Up to 6.00pm £8.00
Opening hours and fees
The Straits ‘out-of-school’ Clubs are open every school day.
N.B. there will be no ‘After school’ club on the days that school closes early e.g. the last day of term. Parents will be notified in advance when this happens.
