Buckstone After School Club

Established in 2001, OSCARS @ Buckstone Out of School Club accommodates children from Buckstone Primary School in classes P1 – P7. The club is based from St. Fillan’s Episcopal Church and enjoys use of both the main hall and small hall. The children are collected from their classes by our playleaders and taken on a short walk to St Fillan’s. Although the emphasis is on fun and enjoyment, children are encouraged to join in activities and learn new skills – whilst making new friends.

Location
The After School Club is based from St.Fillan’s Church Hall, which is approximately 1 mile from Buckstone Primary School. The children are met by our team of staff wearing Oscars uniform (orange polo shirt and black fleece). Children in P1 and P2 are collected from their classrooms, while older children are met by our staff in the playground courtyard (by the school gym). The group then walk back to the After School Club.

Activities & Timetable

The club offers a wide range of activities both on and off site. Following consultation with the children, our team of staff will meet regularly to plan and finalise a programme of activities.

The programme takes into account the time of year, incorporating special occasions and multi cultural celebrations. At regular intervals, the club will hold theme weeks. The activities offered always include arts and crafts, physical activities and imaginative play. The programme, which changes on a weekly basis, will be clearly displayed for all parents/carers/children to see.

Resources such as sports equipment, arts and crafts materials, board games, books, dressing up clothes and pretend play equipment are readily available on a daily basis.

Children attending the club receive a daily snack. The snack menu will be displayed at the club.

Occasionally, the children will enjoy an off site activity, such as a trip to a local park, cinema, bowling etc. Details of these activities will be communicated to parents/carers in advance.
