Wraparound Care

The wrap around care provision at St Joseph's is provided by school. It is school staff who operate in the club which means they are a friendly and familiar face to the children who attend.  

All children from Reception to Year 6 can access the club and we aim to provide an inclusive environment where each child feels happy, safe and secure, allowing them to learn and develop freely in a play centered environment.  Children have a big input into the activities at the club and their ideas are valued and listened to. 

The operating times of the club are:

 - Breakfast Club 7.15 – 8.45am    

 - After School Club 3.15—6.00pm

Bookings

We ask parents to book their child(ren)'s place through the Arbor App - this means that when preparing food for the children we have an indication of how many children will be in the club.  However, we understand that plans do change and children can be admitted to the club at late notice - please call the school office (office@stjosephscps.co.uk) to do so.  Alternatively, it may be that having booked a place you are able to collect your child, again, please just let the school office know.  You will only be charged for the times your children actually attend the club.
