Please make sure you make the Breakfast Club staff aware if your child is attending a sports/phonics club. They will need to be able to do this unaccompanied as staff will not always be available to escort children.

In the event of closure – for example, due to inclement weather, Breakfast Club will not run. We will endeavour to inform parents as soon as possible via Groupcall.
