Before and After School Care
At the Ursuline Preparatory School we appreciate that parents commitments do not always fit in with the school day. The School therefore offers optional before and after school care arrangements which are available to all children from Pre-Reception to Upper Two. We are fortunate that this facility is run by in-house school staff who already hold Enhanced Disclosure and Barring Certificates and are qualified Paediatric First Aiders.

Car Park
The school car park can be used to collect children from after school care. Pupils can be picked up via the side gate of the school building where there is a doorbell located on the back door. A member of staff will ask you to sign the pupil out.
Late Charges
If your child is on a booked session and is not collected at the end of the booked session, then the appropriate charge will be applied for the following session.
Collection of Children – not staying for After School Care
Any child who has not been collected* will automatically be taken into after school care and the appropriate charge levied to parents.
*Times may vary slightly depending on the school’s staggered end of day pick up times.
Important Points to Note
Club collection and sporting events – not booked for after school care
Parents have the option of booking their children into after school care in advance. However, any child who has not been collected ten minutes after the advertised pick up time will be taken into the after school care and the appropriate charge levied to parents.
Ratios
For the safety and wellbeing of our pupils, legal ratios are strictly observed and therefore there is a cap to the number of pupils that we can accept. This is in line with our safeguarding procedures.
Medical Conditions
Please note that we rely upon the existing medical and dietary information we hold on file for your child and would stress the importance of ensuring that this information is always accurate and up to date. If there are any changes, please contact the school office.
