TERM!

THE CLAREMONT CURRICULUM:

LEARNING ABOUT OURSELVES, OTHERS AND THE WORLD AROUND US.

We are really excited to share our junior school spring term co-curricular and wrapround care programme, featuring 12 new clubs for this term.

Wraparound care begins from Pre-nursery, offering families consistent support from the very start of their Claremont journey. As children move into Reception, they are able to join our vibrant co-curricular club programme, which grows steadily as they progress through the school.

Clubs at Claremont are an integral part of the curriculum; after all a child's time at school extends far beyond the classroom. Learning happens in many ways and often flourishes when exploring an interest or discovering a new passion.

We have worked to carefully shape a broad and balanced range of clubs to complement classroom learning while also opening the door to new experiences. We hope that your child finds enjoyment and belonging in all that is on offer.

THIS IS YOUR ESSENTIAL GUIDE TO PLAN YOUR CHILD’S CO-CURRICULAR ACTIVITIES AND WRAPAROUND CARE.

Our co-curricular programme features six key categories to support every child’s growth and ensuring their interests are always at the heart of what we do.

Please use this guide explore:

As well as enhancing physical, social, and emotional skills, it is considered by many to be the foundation for other sports because it helps develop coordination, strength, balance, and patience, as well as helping to build confidence at a young age. We seek to channel every child’s natural gymnastic energy and lay the foundations of a healthy, active lifestyle. www.impactdance.co.uk E:

Bookings are made via myEVOLVE. opening Tuesday 2 December, closing Sunday 7 December (for co-curricular clubs) and Tuesday 24 March (for wraparound care). Pupils must be registered via the online booking system for all clubs (except Breakfast Club). Pupils will not be permitted to attend otherwise. Staff will strictly adhere to this policy.

In response to parents’ feedback we have created as much space as possible in all clubs, however spaces are allocated on a ‘first come, first served’ basis. Once a club becomes full the bookings will close and if your child did not receive a place you will automatically be added onto a waiting list for that particular club. If your child is on the register for the chosen club, you will be able to see this information within your account each term, no confirmation will be sent by the office.

Clubs are enrichment opportunities and children need to be ready emotionally for these developmental milestones. If we feel a child is not thriving in a club we will discuss with the parents whether continuance of attendance is advisable. If you wish to stop the attendance of any club, please contact the school office in writing after the first week of attendance. In the case of externally provided clubs you will only be charged for the first session. Any cancellations after this date will be liable for charges for the whole term.

PAYMENT INFORMATION

Please note, we have removed the need for immediate payment to secure a place in clubs. Charges will be billed after the February half term. Following the introduction of VAT from 1 January 2025 please note that most external clubs are now subject to VAT and this is reflected in the prices on myEVOLVE.
