Spitfires Club
Spitfires Club is our Before and After School Club, where your child will be warmly welcomed with a smile and cared for in a well-resources and friendly setting. The club is run by our committed Kingsfield staff who are familiar faces and know all of our children well. The Before School Club will provide breakfast and full supervision. The After School Club provides a variety of activities and snacks, as well as optional homework support.
Spitfires Club will be managed by the Headteacher and Governors of The Castlechurch Primary School. It falls under the same Ofsted regulations as the school and will be inspected in conjunction with the school.

Activities
After school club children can happily attend any clubs being run after school. This may include activities such as: football, dance, crafts, multi skills etc. Staff running these clubs will return any children to Spitfires Club should they need to stay later. Children who have attended a club and are then collected from Spitfires Club after 4.00pm, will be charged at the full rate as we have to allow for staffing costs.
After School Club offers a more relaxed atmosphere, children have a snack and there is additional time for child choice activities such as: ICT activities, crafts, construction, puzzles, toys and games. Children may also wish to complete their homework and home reading while at the club, with help provided from the staff, should they need it.
During this time staff fully supervise the children and ensure all children’s needs are met. Activities will be reviewed to evaluate what has worked well.
