This week in WAC
Dear Parents/Carers
This weeks Wrap Around Care Highlights.
Wow. what a week we've had!
A few of the children decided to dress up as pirates. They were made to walk the plank over a crocodile infested Ocean. They had pink coloured sand to dig in and found treasure where X marked the spot they were thrilled when they found a treasure chest next to a camp fire.
Some of the children felt the need to operate on Bobbington the bear. I am pleased to say the operation was a complete success, due to the expertise of out young surgeons. Bobbington has made a full recovery.
Junk modelling, as always has been enjoyed and the Drs used their 'new' computer to assist the operation. In addition some amazing Aliens were produced from the junk modelling.
Have a great weekend1
REMINDER THAT WE WILL FINISH AT 5.15PM ON TUESDAY 16TH DECEMBER
Have a lovely weekend!
Kind Regards
The Wac Team.
Bidborough Primary School is pleased to provide our children with the opportunity to attend Wrap Around Care (WAC) before and after school, Monday to Friday during school term time.
These clubs may be attended on a long-term or ad hoc basis. Sessions can be booked weekly in advance or as needed, subject to availability.
The Wrap Around Care is an extension of the school and will operate in line with the school’s values: love, courage, hope, forgiveness, and koinonia. It will operate under the school policies.
A typical afternoon at WAC will be filled with a variety of fun activities using both indoor and outdoor spaces. Activities will include group games, arts and crafts, sports, dressing up, and much more. On arrival children will be offered a fresh fruit snack option and a hot dinner will be served at 4:50 pm for all children booked onto the second session.
We look forward to providing a fun, nurturing Wrap Around Care environment!

Arrivals and Departures:
Children attending WAC must be accompanied by an adult over the age of 16 when arriving. In the morning, children may arrive anytime between 7:30 am and 8:30 am, but breakfast will only be served until 8:00 am.
At 8:30 am, the children will be released into their classrooms to their class teacher.
After School:
Children will be sent from their classrooms by the teachers to the playground for registration by the After School Club staff. Children attending an extracurricular club run by an external provider will be escorted to the After School Club by the leader at the end of their activity.
At the beginning of each WAC session, a register will be taken. Children who have not booked into a session in advance will be billed and the £2 admin fee applied. Children are expected to be collected promptly at the end of their booked session by their parent, guardian, or emergency contact held by the school.
In the instance of non-collection, the school will attempt to call/contact you and the other emergency contacts they have for your children. If they cannot get anyone to come pick up the children then the Designated Safeguarding Lead and Headteacher will be informed and safeguarding procedures will be followed.
If your child is not collected by the end of their booked session, you will automatically be charged for the next session. If you are late picking up after 6:15 pm, a late fee of £10 per 15 minutes per child will be charged to cover staff costs.
Food Provision:
Breakfast will be provided by the staff at Breakfast club. This will include fresh fruit, toast and cereals.
After School club meals will be provided by the school catering company Nourish. Every child attending the second session will be offered a hot dinner. Please see the menu below.
Individual needs:
WAC staff are aware of the needs of children in school and ensure all additional support required is provided. At least one staff member present at WAC will be first aid trained and able to provide emergency first aid if needed. Medication will be accessible to adults supervising the children at all times.
