After School Club

Everything you need to know..

We understand that children have been working hard at school and after a long day might want to simply relax. Our after school clubs have been described as “going to play at someone house, but with loads of people and games to play”. It is no wonder that when parents turn up to collect their children sometimes they just don’t want to go.

All our after school clubs run straight after school until 6pm each school day. Once children arrive at the club room they are able to play with the wide range of free play activities.For the first and last 30 minutes of the club children are able to watch some television or play on the wii.

Each club offers children a snack and this is usually served between 4 .00 – 4:30 we offer children a varied menu from toast to jacket potatoes  and the children regularly help us make homemade soup and potato wedges. Children will also get the opportunity to cook sausages or dough balls on an open fire when we are running a forestry session in the after school club. Each night we offer an organized activitiy run by one of the FISH play workers, this can be anything from den building, arts & craft activity, rounders, hockey, bouncy castle games or an organised grand prix knock out race on the scalectic.

Some of our after school clubs are linked to a learning community or a cluster of schools to provide a sustainable after school club for all the schools. We are please to be able to offer a pick up service using either the Fish MPV or School Mini Bus. Children are collected from their school and then taken back to the host school. There is no extra charge for this service. We also operate a walking bus from some of our schools to the host schools.  Please see the individual venues for more details

Some schools run extra-curricular activities after school, if you child is booked into these clubs please check with the school or provider that they are happy to bring your child to the fish club after the club has finished. If they are unable to do this please speak to the club manager before you book your child into the club to check that we can pick them up.
