    After School Club Parental Agreement

    Ampertaine Primary School Extended Schools Services are school-based services provided and maintained by Ampertaine Primary School.

    They are a range of wrap-around care services aimed at relieving the financial pressures faced by many families in the current climate.

    The purposes of the Extended Schools Services are to provide a community service. Any profit made is re-invested back into the services or used to directly improve the educational provision of the school. As such, the small fees involved require very careful financial management.

    After School Club operates every school day with exception of half or part-days. Service will not operate on exceptional closures or holidays.

    1 session daily from 2:00pm – 5:00pm

    Pupils can be booked in advance as often as required.

    A paper copy can be obtained from the school office on request.

    School Flu Vaccination Programme

    The flu vaccination programme in schools will be going ahead in the autumn term. It is likely that flu and other respiratory infections will be circulating at the same time which means that it is important to help protect children against flu and prevent the spread of flu in the community.

    Please following the link to a short film for further information.

    FREE Breakfast Club (8 – 8:40am) All pupils MUST be in school by 8:20am

    Last school year we had a fantastic amount of pupils attending our club each morning and look forward to welcoming everyone from Tuesday 1st September.

    Thank you also to those who have donated food already for our club. We are gladly accepting the following items
    • Apple Juice
    • Orange Juice
    • Money! Last year our club cost on average £18 a week.

    Pupils are offered juice (apple or orange), toast and a choice of cereal. We are currently receiving free cereal from a community group.

    The Club is a great opportunity for our pupils to mix and socialise with each other before they start their busy day.

    Thank you so much to our parental helpers. Our club would not be operational without the parental support each morning.
