Dream, Believe, Achieve 8th January 2020 Dear Mums, Dads & Carers, The staff of St. Benedict’s are pleased to continue to offer a range of extra-curricular activities for the children to take part in during the spring term. Please see overleaf for the timetable. All after-school clubs listed will run from 3.15 – 4.00p.m. except Chess club which will finish at 4.15p.m. and Drama at 4.30p.m. All children to be collected from the BACK DOOR. Considering the safety of your child is of the utmost importance to all our staff we know you will help us by: Collecting your child promptly after the club. No child should walk home unaccompanied unless we have been informed. Phoning the office/seeing the teacher in charge/writing a letter if your child is unable to attend or does not wish to come anymore. In the event of a club being cancelled due to poor weather or other circumstances, we will endeavour to contact you by text message, however if you have not received a text message please feel free to call the school office and check whether your child’s club is happening. If we are unable to contact you, your child will stay with the teacher until the normal collection time. As ever, I am incredibly grateful to the staff of St Benedict’s for giving up their time to run after-school clubs and would respectfully remind parents to show their gratitude by picking their children up on time. To this end, if children are collected more than 10 minutes late from a given club on more than three occasions, they will be unable to continue that club for that term, but may re-join clubs the following term. Permission slips must be returned to your class teacher by return to give us time to draw up registers and send home acknowledgement slips. All clubs will start the week of Monday 13th January 2020 (with the exception of Film club which will start on Tuesday 21st January). Please discuss the opportunities with your child of joining a school club, or two maybe, and fill in the permission slip to indicate their chosen club/s. Your child will bring home a slip advising them if they have a place in their chosen club/s or not. St Benedict’s have a very committed, multi-talented, enthusiastic staff. Please ensure your child benefits from the wide range of activities on offer. Yours sincerely,
Piers Ranger Headteacher
