A direct dial line is available between 3.00 p.m. and 6.00 p.m. Monday to Friday – this number is 01904 655394.
When it is necessary for someone other than a child’s parent, guardian or carer to collect them from After School Care, please will you let a member of our After School Care staff know, in writing so that staff are enable to keep children safe.On occasions it may be possible that access via the main school entrance will be restricted. At these times, access to the Nursery Classroom, where our After School Care takes place, can be made via the small playground at the front of the school. The After School Care comes to an end at 6.00 p.m. each day, and we ask that parents ensure their child is collected by this time, whenever they choose to avail themselves of this additional care offered by the School.If you have any questions or queries, please do not hesitate to contact us, when we will be only too happy to help.

Yours sincerely

BEFORE AND AFTER SCHOOL
CARE NEWS

At Bootham Junior School, we offer Before and After School Care for all pupils.  Before School Care is offered for children from 8.00 a.m. onwards.  After School Care is offered from 3.00 p.m. until 6.00 p.m. on each school day, except the last day of the term.
Both can be used on a regular or ad-hoc basis, should parents find themselves unexpectedly unable to collect their child at the usual end-of-school time. Shelly Roper and Linda Salkeld are responsible for the supervision of children during our Before School Care sessions and as Shelley Roper also acts as a Learning Support Assistant within school, the children know her well.In our After School Care facility, there are three supervisors, Linda Salkeld, Claire Little and Shelley Roper. As you are probably aware Claire Little is now on maternity leave and Louise Carney, a well qualified, assistant has been appointed until Claire returns.After School Care takes place in the Nursery Classroom.
In fine weather, children are able to take advantage of the fresh air and play outside in the playground area. A variety of indoor activities are on offer, including board games, colouring and painting, story-reading or just relaxing. Older children are able to complete homework if you so wish. This is organised in a separate class room, supervised by a teacher.At 4.30 p.m. every day, light refreshments and fruit are offered to the children, but – of course – this is not a substitute for tea.
