  After School Club Parental Agreement

  Ampertaine Primary School Extended Schools Services are school-based services provided and maintained by Ampertaine Primary School.
  
  They are a range of wrap-around care services aimed at relieving the financial pressures faced by many families in the current climate.
  
  The purposes of the Extended Schools Services are to provide a community service. Any profit made is re-invested back into the services or used to directly improve the educational provision of the school. As such, the small fees involved require very careful financial management.
  
  After School Club operates every school day with exception of half or part-days. Service will not operate on exceptional closures or holidays.
  
  1 session daily from 2:00pm – 5:00pm
  
  Pupils can be booked in advance as often as required.
  
  A paper copy can be obtained from the school office on request.

  School Flu Vaccination Programme

  The flu vaccination programme in schools will be going ahead in the autumn term. It is likely that flu and other respiratory infections will be circulating at the same time which means that it is important to help protect children against flu and prevent the spread of flu in the community.

  School Car Park and A + B SLOTS

  For our first week back Primary 1 pupils will be taken to class Monday till Wednesday. Thursday and Friday will be their first time using our system.
  
  Please have patience this week particularly in the morning as we realise the system will be slower due to young children still getting used to the system and P1 pupils being taken to the classroom.
  
  We are continuing with our two slot system and remind all to please keep to the correct drop off and collection time. P1 pupils will receive their slot allocation on Wednesday.
  
  We would ask that all pupils are ready to exit their cars with coats and bags ready to go. The mornings can be very busy and we wish to encourage a constant flow in and out of the car park.
  
  ALL PUPILS are now expected to use the system. We would ask that you stick to your time slots to avoid confusion and to maintain a constant flow of traffic particularly when collecting.
  
  At times with forgotten bags etc classes may be out just after their slot. Please come within your ten-minute time slot ONLY.
  
  Pupils from P3 up should be able to enter their car at collection time without assistance.
  On collection only Staff will walk pupils to cars in the interest of safety.
  
  Thank you in advance for your cooperation in these matters.

  FREE Breakfast Club (8 – 8:40am) All pupils MUST be in school by 8:20am

  Last school year we had a fantastic amount of pupils attending our club each morning and look forward to welcoming everyone from Monday 1st September.
  
  Thank you also to those who have donated food already for our club. We are gladly accepting the following items
  • Apple Juice
  • Orange Juice
  • Money! Last year our club cost on average £18 a week.
  
  Pupils are offered juice (apple or orange), toast and a choice of cereal. We are currently receiving free cereal from a community group.
  
  The Club is a great opportunity for our pupils to mix and socialise with each other before they start their busy day.
  
  Thank you so much to our parental helpers. Our club would not be operational without the parental support each morning.
