Breakfast and After School Clubs
Breakfast Club
At Wensum Junior School, we run a very successful breakfast club in conjunction with The Pantry, our caterers.
It is well known that a good breakfast sets you up for the day and for school age children, it makes a difference to concentration and attention. Please be assured that breakfast club staff follow existing school policies for safeguarding and child protection, and that all staff hold current DBS clearance.
Breakfast club costs are free for children entitled to Free School Meals; for everyone else, it costs £3 per day.
Due to the high demand, we have introduced a booking system to enable us to ensure we have adequate staffing. If you want your child to attend Breakfast Club, please book using our School Money App or Website.
Children will not be able to attend Breakfast Club without prior booking. Should you wish to book a day at short notice, please call the school office who will be able to advise you of the availability, or book using School Money.
Please let us know if your child has any dietary requirements.
Please ensure your child arrives for Breakfast Club between 8am and 8.20am. The school will not be open for children before 8am.
After School Club
Our After School Club provides Wensum Junior School and Nelson Infant school children, after-school provision from the end of the school day until 6pm.
The children arrive at the club and are offered a piece of fruit and have the opportunity to play with a variety of toys, read, do craft activities, homework, play games or they can play outside in our designated safe outdoor area. Each member of staff plans a different activity each day to give the children an adult led activity to choose, if they wish.
Nelson children are walked to Wensum by a ‘walking bus’ and Wensum children make their own way to the club through the school.
At 4.30pm, the children get together for a snack tea, which includes a choice of sandwiches, crackers, breadsticks, fruit, vegetables and other options. If your child has any allergies or dietary requirements, we take this into consideration and always ensure there are options for your child.
After this, the children are free to choose whichever activities they wish to participate in until they are picked up.
Sessions cost £9 per child which includes food and drinks; water and squash will also be available at each session.
