We will endeavour to ensure there is something interesting for children of all ages each day but we are always open to suggestions.

Our Location & Route to Bisley School

Our club is not on school grounds, which means the children will be walked to and from Bisley School, in line with the Government’s “walk to school” and “school bus” initiatives. The route will be via the pelican crossing, which is a journey time of approximately 10 minutes. All children will wear reflective safety bands during the walk, and will be supervised from door to door with registers taken.

Collection from West End will be by car.

Refreshments

At the after school club, we will supply light refreshments only. On arrival back from school children will be offered a piece of fruit or a biscuit and a drink. Later, at about 4.30pm, a further snack will be offered.

During school holidays, the children will need to bring a packed lunch. Some light refreshments will be available for those staying on the extended all day.
