Dear Parent / Carer of ASC,
We have recently carried out a full review of our procedures for collection of children in ASC. To ensure the highest levels of safety and reduce all risk, we are now going to be asking parents to physically collect their children in person rather than allowing children to exit on their own. As a reminder, children collected up until 4.30pm exit from the main office doors, while children collected after 4.30pm will need to be collected from the back of the school hall doors.
We are very keen to support all of our working parents which is why our wrap around care opens at 7.30am and closes at 6.00pm. This level of care is not common across many schools in Telford. Our breakfast club and our ASC are presently at capacity with waiting lists on record. It is a challenge for our dedicated wrap around staff to accommodate these high numbers. As part of this review, it may well be decided that we have to reduce capacity in order to make our provision more streamlined. We will notify you of any impact this may have as we approach the autumn term. Clearly, we will continue to do all we can to support all working parents.
