Breakfast Club Rules and Guidelines

• The Breakfast Club is available for pupils in Reception through to Year 6.
• Doors open at 7.45am and close at 8.15am.
• The Breakfast Club does not operate on a ‘drop-in’ basis. If you have not booked and paid for a place for your child/your child has not been allocated a place, they will be turned away.
• The school’s behaviour policy is followed throughout breakfast club. Children who consistently fail to follow the behaviour policy will be removed from the register. If the school has concerns, you will be contacted by a member of the Senior Leadership Team (SLT).
• Paying parents will not be refunded for missed sessions.
• If your child is entitled to a free place and misses three sessions per term of Breakfast Club, they will be removed from the register and placed at the bottom of the list. If your child misses a session because of authorised absence from school (illness, medical appointment), this will not be counted.
• The school reserves the right to allow children to attend Breakfast Club in exceptional circumstances. In the interests of child protection and confidentiality, no information about the reasons behind the allocations of spaces will be shared with parents or other pupils. If you have any concerns, please see Mrs Sanday – the school’s Designated Safeguarding Lead.
