Home/ Clubs on offer/ After School Clubs

After School Clubs run outdoors all year round rain or shine! 

We have new activities every week and every term and will adapt sessions dependent on the weahter to keep our young members moving, socialising, exercising and continue to gain all new experiences and skills.

Clubs run directly after school on school premises 

Clubs are Ofsted Registered & we accept Childcare Vouchers.  All our staff are DBS checked and we have first aid trained instructors at every club.

WHAT AGE:  Clubs are open to children in Year 1 to Year 6 (not Reception class). Some clubs are open to specific year groups, some are mixed. Please check your specific school's club for details.

    THE ACTIVITIES:  Every week is different and based around a running theme, always involving games, learning new skills, communication & teamwork, crafting, creativity and lots of outdoor play. A non-competitive "just for fun" environment, with something for everyone from the quiet and methodical to the loud and lively!

    HOW DO I BOOK

    Bookings are taken online for a whole term. If there are spaces, we are happy for children to join mid-term and prices are amended weekly online to reflect the missed sessions.

    • To make a booking click 'book after school clubs' and select your child's school. Click through the 'book now' buttons and make a payment. Book & pay online and you will receive a confirmation email with all the details you need for the club.
    • If the club is full please add to waitlist and you will be contacted if there is space.
    • Booking for next term tends to open half a term in advance. Please sign up to our newsletter to be the first to hear as clubs go on sale.

    A TYPICAL SESSION:

    • As everyone arrives they will be signed in by the Lead instructor. This is an opportunity for children to grab a snack from their bag, go for a toilet break, and put on appropriate clothing. Please pack a snack for your child if you think they'll need one by then, and also appropriate outdoor clothing, depending on the weather.
    • Should a child not arrive, the instructor will check with the office to see if they are accounted for. Parents will be called if the child is expected at the club and there is no absence note. This is a time-consuming process and we take it very seriously so please do let us know if your child will not be attending the club that day to avoid this.
    • Registers are sent to the school office so they know who should be attending the club.
    • KS1 (Yrs 1&2) will either be picked up by instructors or the teachers will bring them to the meeting point. KS2 (Yrs 3-6) usually come straight to the meeting point from their classroom, this differs per school.
    • Once everyone has arrived, the session commences with the activity for the week (FUN TIME!).
    • Home time: The pick up point at the school is communicated in the booking confirmation. Children will be signed out to the parent or carer named on the register. Any last minute changes to pick up such as family friends, please do let us know prior so the information can be passed on or the instructor may request to contact the named parent to confirm before they can release the child from their care.
    • Please check your booking email confirmation for the meeting points and parent pick up locations for the club. Infants and Junior Clubs at the same school often have different meeting and collection points so please read carefully.

    WHAT DOES MY CHILD NEED TO BRING? A sense of adventure! We do not ask the children to change clothes but bring suitable outer layers for the season – waterproof jackets, warm clothing in winter, sturdy shoes or sun cream and a hat if summer time. Some children come with a snack and water as there is time to eat this at club sign in. They'll also need their stamp card (see below).

    REWARD CARDS & PATCHES Each member of the club receives a reward card which earns them points each time they attend. When they get to 10 points they recieve a special outdoors project patch! The patches are iron on but we do advise sewing them if you put them on clothing. They'll be a designated patch to earn per term which will be shown to members. 

    ROAM CLUB T-SHIRTS. We do have our special club member T-shirts which are available through the office to purchase. These are great for sewing patches onto! We will hand these directly to children in the club when purchased. 

    OUTDOOR PROJECT CLUB AMBASSADOR AWARD Each term our club leaders will choose children at the club to recieve a special patch and certifcate for passion, politeness and resilience during the term. 

    SEN PUPILS. If your child has additional needs please do get in touch and we'll be happy to discuss further to advise whether the club environment is the right fit. If your child receives one to one support at school, please call before booking as we need to ensure we are able to offer the correct support for your child.

    ETIQUETTE!

    We want everyone to enjoy themselves and to go home with smiles after having plenty of fun with friends as well as learning a new skill or game! Time is limited and in order to maximise everyone’s enjoyment of the session, disruptive behaviour is not tolerated.

    We operate a three-strike policy in which extreme behaviour, such as aggression, bullying or misusing equipment, will result in a “strike” against the child’s name. Parents will be informed after a strike is issued and if three are issued over a term then we will be forced to withdraw the child's place.

    We ask for your support in ensuring we can work to resolve negative behaviour and encourage children to enjoy and participate fully in the activities, for us to maintain a fun and safe environment for all!
