How our club works

The emphasis is on play and leisure rather than education but there is an opportunity to look at homework as well. A list of structured play activities for the after school club will be given to your child at the beginning of each half-term. Staffing at clubs is 1 adult to 10 children for older children and for Reception the ratio is 1 adult to 8 children. 

At present the staff comprises:

Lucy Friend

Kelly Gutteridge

Debbie Glazzard

Mandy Richardson

Ruth Holloway

Jo Palmer

• Before your child/children start attending our clubs we ask that you fill in a registration and parental contract form and hand into the school office or give to the club manager.  Then each week bookings will be taken from 8.00am Monday until 8.00am Tuesday and emailed to afterschoolclub@straits.dudley.sch.uk. No paper booking forms will be accepted. You will be contacted to be informed whether you have been successful or not.
• Fees must be paid once your place has been confirmed to secure your place. Payments must be online via wisepay; no cash will be handled (Wisepay)
• If your child does not attend the clubs and has been booked in, no refund will be given, as all the staffing will have already been arranged for that week
