Working outdoors is important to us here at Warberry and the introduction of our new Forest School provision has really enhanced the opportunities we can offer our children. Thanks to our fantastic Trust estates team, who worked tirelessly to enclose an area of our field and built a picket fence around a section for us, the provision is now up and running and an integral part of the curriculum. Warberry’s Forest School site is continuousley developing and will have a fire pit and fixed canopy in the near future. EYFS were the first group to experience this outdoor learning and have loved exploring the space, discovering the flora and fauna, and getting wet and muddy! We are very excited to be able to offer this to more Year groups as time goes on.
Forest School is an ethos. It gives children the opportunity to re- connect with the world around us in its natural state. It gives them the space and freedom away from time pressures, technology and everyday life stresses to reflect in their most basic forms and we are so pleased to be able to provide this for our children. We are extremely grateful to the PTA who have worked so hard to help us develop this area and supplied us with a shed as well as to one of our parents who kindly offered to supply some tree stumps for the children to sit on, adding to the rural aspect of the area.
Breakfast Club: 7.45am – 8.30 am including breakfast £3.50 per child
After School Club: 3.00 – 6.00 pm £9 per child.

Terms and Conditions
We are delighted to be able to extend our extra-curricular club provision next term with some of our parents volunteering to run brand new clubs! All of these parents have been through the volunteer recruitment process for the LAP and have a valid DBS certificate. The Gardening, Reading and Computer clubs will be for a small group of children, allocated strictly on a first come, first served basis and will run for 5 weeks with those children at the top of the waiting list offered priority to join for the second group of 5 weeks later in the term.
Our sports clubs with TUCST and Kinetic will continue to be subsidised by our PE grant or school budget but, due to the financial pressures that schools are currently under, we are not unable to offer these activities completely free of charge. Continuing on from the Autumn Term 2024, we are charging £20 per term for a lunchtime club and £30 per term for an after-school club, this is still a significantly lower cost than similar events in the community and we know the children very much enjoy attending. We will also offer an opportunity to split the cost over the term if this makes things easier for you. However, if you have not yet fully paid for the Spring term clubs that your child signed up for, we will be unable to give them a place during the Summer term.
We have again teamed up with Torquay United Community Sports Trust and Kinetic who will continue to offer a range of Year group clubs. These companies run a number of after-school clubs across South Devon, providing children with an added opportunity to engage in physical activity. Throughout the Summer term, they will be offering Football clubs for children in Years 2, 3 & 4 and Years 5 & 6, a Rounders / Cricket club for children in Years 5 & 6 and a Tag Rugby Club for KS 2. This will give our young people the opportunity to have fun whilst learning and improving their skills. The teams at TUCST and Kinetic have a thorough knowledge of the curriculum requirements in PE and work in partnership with schools to ensure that they deliver lessons that are imaginative, informative and enjoyable.
Excitingly, Saints Southwest are also returning for the Summer term with a Handball/Basketball Club for KS1 and a Basketball Club for Years 3 & 4. Saints Southwest run the booking system for their clubs and more information can be found at Our schedule | Saints Southwest | Powered by ClassForKids
Registration for the TUCST, Kinetic, Choir, Ukulele, Gardening, Craft, Reading and Computing Clubs is available via the “Clubs” tab on the MCAS app. There are limited numbers of places available for these clubs which will be allocated strictly on a first come, first served basis. Please be aware that no priority will be given to children who attended in the Autumn and / or Spring terms – the clubs are opened up to all children in the relevant year groups each term and spaces are allocated on a first come – first served basis each time.
Once you are in the “Clubs” tab, please click on the required club and then click on “enrol now”. If all of the spaces have been taken, your child will be added to the waiting list and we will let you know if a space becomes available. Please note, the clubs will be live and bookings open on MCAS from 6:00pm on Thursday 3rd April.
If we receive Pupil Premium funding for your child and you feel it may be a real struggle for you to pay for one of the clubs, please speak to Mr Bone on the gate and we will endeavour to help, please note we cannot guarantee this and cases will be considered on an individual basis. If we are not currently receiving Pupil Premium funding for your child and you think you may be eligible under the income related criteria, please complete the form at Application for free school meals (torbay.gov.uk).
All club memberships will be renewed each term so if your child is not successful in the Summer they may get another chance in the next academic year. Notice of when the next term’s enrolment opens will be sent nearer the time.
All clubs will run every week throughout the term; in cases of bad weather, the clubs will move to an indoor space and suitable games / training will be provided.
We reserve the right to cancel any of the clubs due to unforeseen circumstances but must make you aware that the payment covers the full term and no refunds will be given should we need to cancel any week.
For the Summer term, clubs will start the week beginning either 21st or 28th April, depending on the club – dates are shown in the table above and they will run until the week ending either 18th or 25th July.
