Before & After School Clubs

Early Birds

Early Birds is a Breakfast Club available before schools starts, making mornings easier for the family.

Available to all children, the club offers supervised provision by staff, giving children a place to eat and be entertained.

Following breakfast, there are a variety of games and activities to choose from, with access to laptops, arts and crafts, lots of toys to play with, or simply a quiet place to finish homework. 

Charged at £6 per session from 7:30am to 8:45am. Children should be handed over to a staff member at the hall door.  We ask that parents do no enter the building.  Thank you

Night Owls

Night Owls is an after school club that offers a warm, safe environment for children supervised by staff. This is an opportunity to unwind after a busy day at school, or to join in with one of the many activities, such as arts and crafts, needlework, jigsaws, or relax and read a book. Drinks and Snacks are provided. 

Charged at £6.50 for one session and £11.00 for two. One session runs up to 4:30pm, and the second session to 6.00pm. To collect your child, please come to the small black gate in front of the school office and ring the door bell. 

Booking

Early Birds does not require an advance booking, simply turn up on the day. 

Night Owls sessions must be booked either by telephoning the school office or emailing contact-us@skertonstlukes.lancs.sch.uk Bookings can be made up to one month in advance.

Payments

*Government Tax-Free Childcare Scheme

If you use the Government Tax-Free Childcare scheme to pay for Early Birds or Night Owls, please help us to make sure your payments are allocated correctly by emailing contact-us@skertonstlukes.lancs.sch.uk each time you make a payment.

In your email, please tell us:

• the date you made the payment
• the amount paid
• whether it is for Early Birds or Night Owls
• if it is for both, how much should be allocated to each club
• the payment reference number

We kindly ask parents to keep their own record of payments made and the number of sessions their child attends.

Please be aware that these payments are received by school one month in arrears, so your account may show an outstanding balance in the meantime. This is normal and will be updated once the payment has been received and allocated.

*ParentPay

If you are not using the Government Tax-Free Childcare Scheme, payments must be made, in advance, via ParentPay. We cannot allow debt to build up on either the Early Birds or Night Owls accounts. If payment has not been made in advance, we may be unable to offer your child a place at either provision.
