"I think it's wonderful all the clubs the school provides!"

"My child is very happy at Upton.  She loves the Arts and Sports.  I like the way each child is exposed to lots of different activities"

Parent of Year 4 pupil.

Upton is open from 7:30am until 6:00pm Monday – Friday. The extended school day provides flexibility for working parents. Breakfast Club (7:30am - 8:30am) and the ‘Upton Ship' After School Club (3:00 – 6:00pm) have been set up to provide regular, consistent childcare provision for the parents of Upton. We accept Childcare vouchers.

In addition to the full extended day, we are in a fortunate position in that we provide a wealth of extra-curricular opportunities for the children of Upton.

Clubs are run before, during and after school.  Clubs information is produced in Terms 1, 3 and 5 (every other term) detailing the host of activities available.

Club Information and Organisation

All clubs will start straight after school at 3:00pm. Children assemble at the Sports Hall or the relevant Music Rooms to be registered and change (if necessary). All club leaders dismiss their children at the gate by the swimming pool. Finishing times are 4pm or 4.15pm for String Group.

Where possible, clubs are not cancelled; they will go ahead regardless of the weather.

The office will send out club reminders and notifications. Please contact the office for enquiries 01843 861393.

Safety & Security

A register is taken at the beginning of each club and every child ‘checks out’ with the club leader before departing.

If a child signs up for a club, we ask that they commit for two terms (approx.12 weeks). If a child is unable to attend on any occasion, we ask you to inform the school office as soon as possible. If your child leaves school and does not attend their club, and we are expecting them, we will contact you.

 If children miss two weeks of club without good reason, they forfeit their place and the place will be offered to a child on the club waiting list.
