Background
The extended provision was established to support the families of Farington Moss St. Paul’s CE school by providing high quality care outside of school hours.
Management
The Extended Provision is overseen by a committee appointed from the Governing Body of Farington Moss St. Paul’s CE School. Two managers, Mrs T. Carmon and Mrs J. Braddock are appointed to run the provision, they have overall joint responsibility for the operation of the provision whilst individually having a focus on either the pre-school or after school provision.
A meeting is usually held a minimum of once per term to which both provision managers are invited, however with restrictions due to the covid pandemic this was not possible.
There are currently 2 trustees appointed to govern the operation of the Extended Provision, we are looking to increase this number as soon as possible. All trustees are Governors of Farington Moss St. Paul’s C.E. School.
Training
All staff receive safeguarding and food hygiene training. Both managers are Paediatric first aid trained, and the level of first aid training is monitored with training provided dependant on the level of cover. We are an inclusive provision; training is provided for staff dependant on the needs of children using our provision. The need for any additional training is monitored and regularly reviewed.
All staff receive training on play to ensure that the children have the opportunity for free choice and creative play. Staff who attend a course feedback the knowledge gained to all staff.
Trustees report
It continued to be a difficult year for everyone due to the impact of covid, our extended provision was unable to operate fully due to the second national lockdown with the resultant decline in income. Following the easing of the second lockdown and to support the families and children of essential workers, we re-opened our provision as soon as possible and it has continued to operate since.
Staff levels have been steady throughout the year which has giving continuity of care to the children, something needed during another challenging year. The staff and managers have continued to provide a high level of care by;
-
Encouraging outdoor play as often as the weather allows, including the use of the outdoor Table Tennis table.
-
Maintaining the area in the school garden where the children are encouraged to learn about nature, grow flowers and vegetables which they then consume.
-
Promoting healthy eating.
-
Continuing with a games evening once a week, here a staff member hosts a table where the rules of a popular board game are explained, and the children would be guided in how to play correctly.
-
Continuing to develop the children’s independence, allowing them to choose what they would like for breakfast or as a snack at after school club and giving responsibility for cleaning up after themselves.
-
Encouraging the children to choose and plan their own activities whilst attending after school club.
-
Our Extended Provision continues to work alongside school in supporting its distinctive Christian and support our vision statement ‘Thrive in the gift of life’
Excess funds were transferred to the Governors accounts and will be used for further improvements to the school facilities
The Governors of St. Paul’s recognise the valuable addition to the school provided by the Extended Provision. The staff at both clubs work hard to provide a caring, safe, and happy environment for the children. Many families rely on pre and after school care for their children and the importance of a school providing the high-quality care which St. Paul’s do cannot be underestimated. The school governors continue to recognise how the managers and staff have established excellent routines for the children and provide a calm, relaxing environment for the children to enjoy at the start or end of a busy school day.
