Each morning we offer a Breakfast Club for those families who would like to use it. The club runs from 7:45am until 8:55am and the children are given breakfast and can play games, draw and have some general fun before the beginning of school. The current cost is £5 per child per day, payable (in advance please) online or in a cash envelope. This covers all food, staffing and running costs. Those families who are entitled to benefits-related Free School Meals (not universal free school meals) do not need to pay, as the cost is covered by the school's use of its Pupil Premium budget.
The new side (exit) gate will only remain open between 7:45am and 8:15am.
At St. Bart's we aim to offer as much as we can ourselves but we also work in partnership with other settings to provide our families with a set of flexible options. This includes regular pre- and after-school care. Below are the contact details of those locally known to us who have had regular contact with school. We strongly recommend that families contact the named person directly to see what can be offered:
