We are based primarily in the Community Room at the School but do make use of the School’s outdoor play areas in the morning and afternoon – although during winter months this is restricted to lit areas only. We also make use of the hall and library.

Aims
At St Paul’s Stars Breakfast & After School Club we aim to provide a safe and secure and relaxed environment, offering a range of activities to reflect the interests of the children in our care.

What we offer
At Breakfast Club we offer children breakfast on arrival and a small selection of activities before school begins. At After School Club, children are free to choose activities and resources as they wish from the selection available, which is varied daily. The range of activities available may include arts and crafts, board games, construction, physical play, cookery, and reading. A small meal is served to children at 4.30pm.

What we provide
At Breakfast Club, children are offered a simple breakfast with a choice from toast and/or scotch pancake with butter, strawberry/apricot jam, honey or marmite, and cereal – Weetabix, Rice Krispies, Cornflakes, Shreddies or Cheerio's. We also offer milk or water to drink.

The food we provide at After School Club is not intended as a substitute for a main evening meal. We provide healthy snacks, including fresh fruit and vegetables. We promote independence, by encouraging the children to prepare for a meal and to clear away after themselves. We use fresh ingredients and fresh drinking water is available at all times. We meet individual dietary requirements and parental preferences wherever possible.

The menu for ASC varies daily. Meals include soup and bread,hot dogs and veg, cheese and ham wraps,  sandwiches, pasta with cheese and tomato sauce. Desserts available include fruit, mousse and jelly. We pay particular attention to allergens in food and the Playleader is happy to discuss food allergies and intolerances with children and parents on request.

Governance
The Breakfast and After School Clubs are a charity run by a committee of volunteer parents.  The Committee meets roughly once each month.  Meetings are attended by the Headteacher and the Club Playleader when necessary. New members of the Committee are always welcome, as without sufficient volunteers the clubs will be unable to continue to operate. If you are interested in joining the Committee, or have any comments or queries about the clubs, please speak to the Playleader, Miss Boxall, at the Club (07789 046291), or contact the chair via the club email address (st.paul.asc@gmail.com).

Recruitment
