Autumn Season - September to Christmas

Our 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.

Please tell us which clubs you would like to apply for by clicking on the link and filling in the online form by 9.00am on Friday 10th July:

APPLY FOR ENRICHMENT CLUB PLACES FOR THE AUTUMN SEASON (Terms 1 & 2)   – Fill in form

This is the only way to apply, so don't miss out! 

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 yet. We will do our best to accommodate requests, but some clubs may be over-subscribed.

Key dates

• 9.00am ON FRIDAY 10th JULY is the deadline for applications. The link won't work after this.

• You will hear which club/s your child has been allocated by 5.00pm ON FRIDAY 17th JULY. We will send you a separate email for each club, with the registration and payment details you need to secure the place. If there is more than one club, the emails may arrive over several days.

• 4.00pm ON WEDNESDAY 22nd JULY is the deadline for registering with club providers.

FAQs

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

Yes.

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

Applicants who weren't in the club in the Summer Season will have first priority. Remaining places will be filled by drawing names out of a hat.  

I have more than one child. 

You can apply for up to three children on the same form. We will do our best to allocate siblings’ clubs on the same day.

How long is the Autumn Season? 

A possible 14 weeks, but the number of sessions and payment arrangements will vary from club to club.

Can I just apply for Term 1? 

No, if your child gets a place, it's a commitment for the whole Season (though some providers will take the payment in two instalments).

What if I haven't heard from you about a club place by the deadline?

Your child hasn't got a place in that club for the Autumn Season. Try again for the Spring.

What ISN'T included?

Future Stars and Tiger Martial Arts aren't part of our after school enrichment programme. You should book with them directly.

Hillcrest's KS2 and KS1 Choirs are not part of our enrichment programme. Enquiries should be directed to Mr Redshaw. nredshaw@hillcrest.bristol.sch.uk

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.

• The 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.
