Portland Road  & School Road After School Club – for ages 4 to 11

At Portland Road we run a joint West Hove Infant and Hove Junior School  After School Club, in the shared schools canteen.

After School Club runs from the end of the school day until 6pm.

Aims

We believe that a strong sense of attachment to / sense of belonging within our school community is key to supporting children’s personal development, therefore our clubs are run by our own school staff who know the children and families well.

We aim to provide a safe, secure and relaxed environment, offering a range of activities to reflect the interests of the children in our care. We want children to be themselves, develop friendships and follow their own interests. The club provision is distinct from school as we offer high-quality childcare through play and exploration.

In line with our school positive relationships approach, we aim to:

• Foster a desire to explore
• Stimulate curiosity
• Provide children with skills necessary to become independent and resilient
• Co-operate with one another and develop positive relationships
• Persevere and celebrate when we overcome challenges

What We Offer

There will always be a selection of activities and resources available, including arts & crafts, board games, construction, physical play, cookery, and reading. In addition, other resources are available for the children to select from our equipment library.  We also offer supervised opportunities for children to play in the playground.

What We Provide

The food we provide at After School Club is not intended as a substitute for a main evening meal. We provide healthy snacks, including fresh fruit and vegetables.  We always use fresh ingredients and follow statutory guidelines.  We are also able to meet individual dietary requirements.  We recognise the importance of healthy nutrition for children delivered in a calm, friendly setting.

Our staff team are experienced childcare professionals, who are able to deliver staff-led sessions that are safe, planned and fun.

Opening Hours

The after school club is open every day that the school is open until 6.00pm.

After School Club Prices

Standard session is £15.00

Getting Children to the Club

Our after school club is for children from West Hove Infants and Hove Junior School. Junior children make their own way to the canteen where they are signed in by the team. Infant children are collected directly from their class teacher or TA and taken to the club by our team.

Collection 

Children will be collected via the Infant School entrance gate on School Road.
