Green Fingers gardening club

*** IMPORTANT ***
Booking will open on Tuesday 28th March 2023 at 20:00 for parents to book one club place per child. Booking will then reopen on Wednesday 29th March 2023 at 20:00 for all remaining places with no limits per child.
Any pupils booked on to more than one club after the first opening will have all their bookings cancelled.

Green Fingers gardening club will run for 8 weeks, from Wednesday 3rd May 2023.

Children will grow and harvest food and will have the satisfaction of seeing the fruits of their labour appear on the school menu. Along the way they will learn more about the bugs and animals that both help and hinder growing food. There’s no better way to get children and young people interested in eating vegetables, herbs and fruit than by giving them the opportunity to grow them. Teaching pupils how to grow organically, as well as how to compost, is a great starting point for introducing them to food sustainability issues. But more importantly, it's great to get muddy, have fun and observe the wonders of nature.

This club is open to children in the following classes:

• Class 2C
• Class 2L
• Class 2P
• Class 3C
• Class 3D
• Class 3M

Refunds due to missed sessions
Suppliers and providers are booked and paid in advance of clubs commencing. Therefore we cannot offer refunds for sessions that clash with school trips, fixtures, summer residentials or other school events. We are also unable to offer refunds for sessions missed due to pupil illness or other absence.

Payment Methods
You can pay by Visa, MasterCard, American Express or Child Care Vouchers.

Child Care Vouchers (CCV)
You can pay for any after school clubs with a CCV. To use a CCV select 'Pay by Invoice' during the checkout process. This will bypass the card payment. You will then need to instruct your CCV provider to pay the school with the name of the club you have booked as a reference.

Important Note: 'Pay by invoice' option is only available for parents who wish to pay by child care voucher. All other payments must be made using a credit or debit card. Any bookings made using 'pay by invoice' that are not settled with a child care voucher will be cancelled and the place will be allocated to the next child on the list.

Disclaimer
All places applied for are for 1 child per application. If you have siblings that wish to attend the same club you must apply twice. The school reserves the right to reallocate any places where payment has not been received by Wednesday 3rd May 2023.

Please be aware that it is no longer possible to change clubs or days after the club has commenced. Should your child drop out of a club at any time during the term, refunds will not be offered.
