Extended Provision
Our Service
Five Ways Primary School operates a Governor managed Breakfast and After School Club facility during term time for pupils at the school. The provision for the Key Stage 2 children is based in the Key Stage 2 hall. The children in Early Years and Key Stage 1 are based in the Key Stage 1 hall. These areas benefit from access to a secure, fenced outdoor area enabling children to take part in outdoor activities, weather permitting. The clubs are staffed by a highly experienced, qualified and caring team. Overall responsibility for the provision is taken by Mrs. Rachel Mander, Headteacher, with Mrs Buck our Extended Provision Administrator and Mrs Russell our School Business Manager managing the day to day arrangements.
Breakfast Club
The Breakfast club operates from 7.45am until 8.45am, when children are escorted to their classrooms. Breakfast is available until 8.30am with a variety of cereals, toast and fruit on offer along with fruit juice, water or milk. There are a range of activities available to the children including board games, construction toys, arts & crafts and physical games such as Twister and skittles.
After School Club
After school club runs from 3.30pm until 5.30pm. Nursery, Reception and Key Stage 1 pupils are collected from there classrooms at the end of the school day and escorted to the club. Pupils in Key Stage 2 are met at a central point in the KS2 building and again are escorted to the club. Assorted activities are available to all children. The After School Club staff are on hand to listen to your child read or assist with homework if required. A snack is provided including wraps, sandwiches and crumpets along with fruit and water or fruit juice to drink.
Please ensure your child is collected promptly at the end of the session. A late collection fee may be imposed if you are late collecting your child and repeated late collection will result in your child’s place being with- drawn.

Fees are payable monthly or termly to suit individual circumstances but MUST be paid in advance. Payment is via our electronic payment system (Parent Pay) or a tax-free code obtained from HMRC via the childcare choices website (https://www.childcarechoices.gov.uk/). We are currently registered with several voucher schemes including Computershare, Busybees, Edenred, Employers for Childcare and RG Childcare. If your employer has a scheme which has not been mentioned please let us know and we will endeavour to investigate their registration process.
Failure to pay in a timely fashion may result in your child’s place being withdrawn. If you are having difficulties making your payments due to a change in circumstances, please contact the school office at the earliest opportunity and make an appointment to see the School Business Manager, Mrs. Wendy Russell, as it is possible that an arrangement can be made. Please be assured that any information provided will be treated sympathetically and in the strictest confidence.
To enable our child to adult ratios to be maintained, we only accept children on a permanent basis.
If you would like to book a place for your child, please contact the school office to enquire about availability and to obtain a registration form. Places will only be confirmed upon receipt of the completed form and initial payment.
If you have booked a holiday for your child during term time fees will still be due, however a reduced retainer fee will apply if written notification is received at least four weeks in advance.
