Safer Eating in School

Following the implementation of the EYFS Safer Eating Policy recently, we would like to advise parents on a few of the important points from this document to keep all children safe during meal times.

• Shape and texture:  Food must be prepared to reduce choking risks. This includes cutting, slicing, or quartering food (e.g., sausages, grapes, cherry tomatoes) lengthways, avoiding small, round, or firm pieces.
• Environment:  Remind children to sit upright during meal times and never walk or run while eating.
• Supervision:  Staff will be pro-active in their continuous supervision of children at meal times, ensuring foods are sliced or cut to prevent choking, but please try and do this at home before children come to school.

Wraparound Care

Tyndale Community School operates a daily breakfast club from 7:45am and offers after-school club until 5:45pm at an extremely competitive rate. As places are limited advanced booking is essential to ensure the health and safety of our children. Please note that all booked places will be charged unless at least 48 hours notice is given due to high demand.

We offer a safe and happy environment for those children who attend breakfast club and after-school club. Tyndale’s Wraparound Care follows our excellent practice to nurture children’s personal development, sense of adventure and creativity in a fun, informal setting.

Our team plan activities and routines to incorporate life skills such as encouraging healthy eating, respect and teamwork.

The children continue to learn social skills such as sharing and negotiating through playing with favourite toys such as lego.

Fees:

£3.75 per session for Breakfast Club and £5.00 for the first hour, £10 for two hours and £13.75 for a full session of Afterschool Club (does not include termly activity clubs).

These fees must be paid in advance via MCAS.

Collection after 6pm will result in a penalty charge of £20.
