Bessacarr Primary Breakfast Club

Breakfast Club Policy  

 Rationale

Our Breakfast club is open to children from Reception to Year 6 and is an extended school activity designed to provide children with the opportunity to have a balanced breakfast before school starts. The club will be in a relaxed atmosphere and there will be a choice of activities that the children can participate in.

Timings

Our club runs from 7:30 – 8:40 am.

We aim to make our club as accessible as possible for parents but in order to ensure your child has breakfast, they must arrive no later than 8:20am.

Our club will run every week day, however if school is closed for any reason i.e Trainings Days, school Holidays and unforeseen circumstances (Snow days etc), the club will not run and you will not be charged.

There will be a sign in sheet outside of the school office for parents to sign their children in; we will use this as our register of attendance.

Costings

The daily fee will be £2.50 per session. This covers the cost of day to day running, including food and staffing. Due to this, payments will need to be made a week in advance. Payments are to be made via ParentPay.

Breakfast choices

There will be a variety of cereal options available to children, along with the choice of toast, croissants and condiments, fruit juice, milk and fresh fruit. We will also offer theme days throughout the year.

Activities

Children will have access to a range of activities, these will suit the ages of the children involved. These will include iPads, building activities, table tennis, an xbox, lego and various games. We will also be engaging the children in some adult led activities. There will also be theme days throughout the year.

Policy and Practice

Our Club adheres to all relevant Bessacarr Primary policies.

Our club is an extended school activity, therefore children are expected to behave as they would in normal school hours. We have a trained first aider and our staff are experienced, well known members of the school community.

Contingency arrangements for staff absences and emergencies

Arrangements will be in place for cover of staff due to absence. This will be organised by the club leader.
