AFTER SCHOOL PROGRAMME

January - March 2017

Dear Parent/carer and pupil,

We now have information on extra-curricular sport clubs for after the Christmas break. I hope you encourage your child to take advantage of these opportunities and continue to be active.

The Active Schools network aims to offer all children and young people the opportunities and motivation to adopt active, healthy lifestyles now and into adulthood. Active schools go beyond school, it’s an ethos and desire to see children engaged in an active lifestyle that will positively affect their involvement in physical activity and sport now and in the future. Schools have a major role to play with the idea that they become the hub of delivering a varied programme both in the school and wider community.

We are always looking for volunteers and assistance to help run afterschool clubs and events. If you would like to become involved please contact myself on the contact details provided below. Opportunities can be varied to suit availability, skills, and different levels of commitment and times of the year. We can also cover costs of PVG and disclosure checks and also provide training to volunteers assisting with the programme. From January to March we are in particular looking for some parent volunteers to take a cross country running club to help the children prepare for the East Renfrewshire schools Cross Country championships in March.

*Please note that some clubs takes place at Eastwood HS at a slightly later time and it is the parent’s responsibility to drop off and pick up pupils at this session. Using Eastwood HS allows the school to organise more opportunities and a wider range of sports for the pupils of Neilston Primary School. It also allows pupils to get familiar with the High School and staff members who are involved in the High School after school clubs. These clubs run in addition to the schools current programme of activities.

To apply for a club please fill out the form overleaf and return it to the SCHOOL OFFICE in an envelope marked with child’s name as soon as possible. To help supplement the cost of running these clubs a small charge is associated with some of the clubs, please see overleaf for information. We do not discriminate access to clubs based on financial hardship, if this applies to you please contact the school office as your child may be entitled to reduced costs. Please ensure that you collect your child from the gym doors at the end of the session. If your child cannot attend the session one week please inform the school prior to 3pm. If you have any queries please do not hesitate to get in touch with me direct either via email on PhillipsG1@ea.e-renfrew.sch.uk or phone 07800 629 668.

Yours Sincerely,

Gordon Phillips
