Welcome to Burrough Green C of E Primary Academy WRAP-AROUND-CARE

Larks and Owls at Burrough Green C of E Primary Academy provides wrap-around-care for our pupils both before and after school.

All pupils, from Reception to Year 6, are eligible to join this club. Both clubs are run by our experienced and dedicated staff.

Our aim is to provide a range of stimulating activities, incorporating play and homework opportunities for your children in a safe and nurturing environment.

Opening Times

We are open every weekday during term time except school PD days and emergency closures.

Morning sessions run from 07:30 until school starts at 08.45, when children are handed over to their class teacher by the Lark’s staff.

Afternoon sessions run from 15:30 to 18:00.  All children will be dropped at Owls by the class teacher, after other children have been dismissed.  If your child is attending an after-school activity, they will be escorted to Owls by the leader of the after-school activity.

Registration

A Registration Form must be completed in full for each child attending either one, or both, of the clubs.  These are available from the school office and can be either downloaded (see below).  A child will not be allowed to attend either club if the Registration Form has not been received.  It is the responsibility of the parent/carer to inform the school of any changes, e.g. contact details. Your child's slot will need to be booked via the Google Form link (see the above link).

Menu

At Larks, there will be juice, milk or water available to drink. The children will have the option of toast (with various spreads/jams) and a range of healthy cereals. There will be fruit/vegetables available. 

In Owls, there will be juice, milk or water available to drink. The children will have the option of toast (with various spreads/jams), yogurt and fruit/vegetables will be available.

Activities

These are relaxed and flexible in a calm and comfortable environment, recognising that children need to unwind and relax after the school day.  They can choose whether they wish to join in with a range of planned, structured activities both indoor and outdoor, such as those involving sport, or choose quiet reading and board games.  There will be some themed nights linked to curriculum topics, current events and special days and staff will take the lead from the children’s own interests.  There will be a weekly film night. On occasions, 'tech' or 'devices' may be available for the children to use.
