2. Main activities
Our extended provision provides a happy, safe and stimulating environment for all children to play, learn and develop, encouraging them to foster a positive attitude and respect for both themselves and others. We work alongside school in supporting its distinctive Christian vision of enabling our children to ‘Thrive in the gift of life’.
We achieve this by:
-
Promoting healthy lifestyle choices by offering and encouraging healthy food choices and physical activity.
-
Encouraging outdoor play as often as the weather allows, including the use of the outdoor equipment.
-
Continuing to develop children’s independence, by 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 children to plan and choose their own activities.
-
Offering a wide range of activities that are fully inclusive of all our children, including those with SEND.
3. Structure, Governance and Management
The Extended Provision is overseen by a committee appointed by the Governing Body of Farington Moss St. Paul’s CE School, including the head teacher and 2 managers Mrs E. Muldowney and Mrs J. Braddock who are responsible for the dayto-day running of the provision and management of staff employed.
The membership of the committee will be determined at the first meeting of the Governing Body in the autumn term. The terms of reference of the committee are reviewed annually.
The committee will elect a chair from among the members of the committee. In the absence of the chair at a meeting the committee will elect any member to act as chair for that meeting.
The committee may, if they so wish, propose suitable persons from the Governing Body to be co-opted to the Committee and non-voting members to provide additional expertise.
Members of the committee are encouraged to take steps to maintain and develop their knowledge and skills, for example by attending appropriate training.
We realise our vision through inspiring and nurturing our whole school family to grow and reach their full potential .

6. Training
All staff working in the extended provision have completed 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 by SLT.
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.
7. Governor feedback
The Governors recognise the valuable contribution the Extended Provision makes to the whole school community.
The staff at both breakfast and after-school clubs work hard to provide a caring, safe, and happy environment for the children. Many of our school families rely on pre and after school care for their children and therefore the high-quality care provided is invaluable.
The 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.
The Governors also note the effective management of the provision and recognise the value in having staff that the children are familiar with and trust. This promotes positive communication channels between the provision, school and families and ensures a consistent approach to delivering the school’s vision and Christian ethos.
We realise our vision through inspiring and nurturing our whole school family to grow and reach their full potential .
