General Information

Admission

Waverton Out of School Club is accessible to all children and families from Waverton Primary School.  Admission to the club is organised by the Manager and a waiting list system may be implemented when the need arises.  The waiting list will be operated on a first come-first served basis, with the exception of siblings who will have priority for the same day(s) as a sibling already attending.

A completed registration form is required for each child attending. This form contains information concerning your child and is confidential.

Whilst re-enrolment is not required automatically at the end of the summer term, any changes to required attendance or any health/medical information must  be informed and agreed with the manager prior to end of term.

Child Protection

We intend to create an environment in which children are safe from abuse and in which any suspicion of abuse is promptly and appropriately responded to. We aim to comply with local and national child protection procedures and ensure that all staff are appropriately trained.

Equal Opportunities

Out of School Club is committed to equal opportunities as stated in its equal opportunities policy. Strategies used to realise this goal include:

·         Premises used by the club provide a high level of accessibility to the community at large.

·         Menus include sufficient variability to provide for a cultural mix of the club’s children.

Special Needs

Waverton Out of School Club will make every effort to accommodate and welcome any child with special needs. We will work in liaison with parents/carers and relevant professionals to meet the child’s specific needs.

We will endeavour to accommodate all children of all abilities, whilst working within the club’s limitations. Each case will be assessed individually and risk assessed to ensure everyone’s safety.
