The St Joseph’s Out of School Club exists to provide wrap around care for those children attending St Joseph’s Catholic Primary School. The St Joseph’s Out of School Club (The Club) runs two session every day during School term times; one in them morning from 7.45 – 8.45 and another after school from 3.15 – 6pm. This provision enables children’s whose working parents who have no other childcare facilities, to attend the school. Surveys of OOSC parents, demonstrates that The Club was a major factor when considering St Joseph’s Catholic School for their children; and also that many would unable to send their children to the school without this facility. The Club provides a home from home environment during the morning session. Breakfast is provided and the children are allowed free play which is typically supervised by two staff members. The longer after school session allows for a more structured programme of events to be run. Typically each term a theme is adopted and activates are organised relating to this. The Staff employed by The Club are supported in all aspects of their role. Their opinions are sought in regard to third party activities arranged by The Club’s Committee and they are actively encouraged to be proactive in requested specific training. All staff are members of the local community. |
