St John’s After School Club

OSCARS @ St John’s Out of School Club has been operating since 2005. Based in the nursery annexe and school gym hall, the club is open to children in classes P1 – P7 attending St John’s RC Primary School, Portobello.

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 in the nursery building and gym hall at St. John’s RC Primary School, Hamilton Terrace, Portobello. The children are met by our team of staff wearing OSCARS uniform. Children in classes P1 – P3 are collected from their classrooms, while older children are greeted as they arrive at the 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.
