Enrichment Clubs for the Summer Season

Here are the clubs for the Summer Season, which runs for two terms, from Easter to the end of the school year in July.

Please tell us which clubs you would like to apply for by clicking on the link and filling in the online form:

APPLY FOR ENRICHMENT CLUB PLACES FOR THE SUMMER SEASON (Terms 5 & 6) – Fill in form

This is the only way to apply, so don't miss out! (Club providers won't take bookings directly)

The deadline for completing the form is 9.00AM ON FRIDAY 20TH MARCH.

Once we have everyone's requests, we will allocate places as fairly as possible.

This means it's not a 'first come, first served' scrum, and we can give priority to children who haven't had a place in a particular club they want yet.

If your child gets a place we will email you the provider's booking details by 5PM ON MONDAY 30TH MARCH so you can register and pay to secure their place.

HERE ARE THE CLUBS...

Please check that your child is in the right age range for the club/s you request.

FAQs

My child loves the club they're in at the moment. Can I apply for the same one again?

Yes. They may well get a place, unless the club is over-subscribed.

What if there are more applicants than places for a club?

Children who haven't been in that club this term will have first priority *. The remaining places will be filled from applicants who are doing the club at the moment, by drawing names out of a hat. * Except for guitar tuition, where improvers will get priority.

How do I apply for more than one child?

The form allows you to apply for up to three children. If one of your children gets a place and you've applied for a sibling to go to a club on the same day of the week, they will get a place.

How long is the Summer Season?

The Season runs for Terms 5 and 6, from after Easter to the end of the school year in July. That's a possible 12.5 weeks, but the start date, number of sessions and payment arrangements may vary from club to club.

Do I have to apply again at half term for Term 6? No, this application is for the whole Summer Season, Terms 5 and 6 (but many of the providers are happy to take the payment in two instalments).

What if I haven't heard from you about a club application by Monday 30th March?

Your child hasn't got a place in that club for the Summer Season, but try again for the Autumn.

What ISN'T included?

Enrichment v Wrap-around childcare

Our enrichment programme and wrap-around childcare provision serve different purposes:

• The enrichment programme aims to give as many children as possible the opportunity to try out a range of activities - broadening their experiences, sparking new interests and supporting their personal development.

• Wrap-around provision (Future Stars and Totterdown Children's Community Workshop) is there to help you manage busy schedules by providing a safe, welcoming space for children at the end of the school day. While there are plenty of games and activities to keep children engaged, the main aim is to offer flexible, reliable childcare to support parents' work and family commitments.
