Summer Term Activity Clubs 2025 After School Clubs - Important Information Children should be collected promptly from the main entrance after their activity unless they have permission to return home unaccompanied. Children are expected to attend each week for the full session unless the office is informed by a parent/carer through a note, phone call or in person. Regular failure to inform the school of non-attendance could result in your child losing their place. Regular non-attendance or late collection from after school activities could also mean your child losing their place. Please note, if your child is not collected on time, a late pick up fee of £5 will be incurred for every 15 minutes until they are collected. Late collections from DASH If you know you will be late picking your child up at 4:30pm, please use the emergency contact number on ParentPay for this club and inform the staff on duty. Your child should then be picked up at 5:00pm. The additional cost will be added to your ParentPay account. Please inform the office if your child will be going home unaccompanied after DASH. Early Collection from DASH If you have booked your child in for the later session (5:00pm-5:45pm) but need to collect them early at 4:30pm, please call the emergency phone number for DASH to let the staff know. Please note, you will still be charged for the later session. Cancellation Please call the school office by 1pm if you need to cancel your child's place at DASH. Places cancelled after 1pm will still be charged.
