Wraparound Care

As part of our extended services we provide wraparound care which includes:

Assemblies

  • Tuesday: 10.30 - Y2 - Y6 Visitor Assembly
  • Thursday: 10.40 - Golden Book Y1-Y6. Parents are invited via book in the office.
  • Friday: Class Council time (alternate weeks to Golden book assembly)

All assemblies end with a daily collective act of worship. During this time children will be asked to bow their heads and join the assembly taker in a prayer to their God or they can just think their own thoughts. Assembly taker then finishes their prayer with an Amen.

During assemblies, staff and Y6 are expected to support behaviour. Children are expected to be silent and sit smartly throughout, including entry and exit.

Class Assemblies

These assemblies take place for parents and families of the class and last around 20 minutes. The class can also invite members of the local community, such as lollipop/crossing patrol volunteers, a local MP,  local shop managers, etc.
