Lion club
Lion Club is our Before and After School Club, where your child will be warmly welcomed with a smile and cared for in a well-resources and friendly setting. The club is run by our committed Marlfields staff who are familiar faces and know all of our children well. The Before School Club will provide breakfast and full supervision. The After School Club provides a variety of activities and snacks, as well as optional homework support.
Lion Club will be managed by the Headteacher and Governors of Marlfields Primary School. It falls under the same Ofsted regulations as the school and will be inspected in conjunction with the school

Activities
After school club children can happily attend any clubs being run after school. This may include activities such as: football, dance, crafts, multi skills etc. Staff running these clubs will return any children to Lion Club should they need to stay later. Children who have attended a club and are then collected from Lion Club after 4.15, will be charged at the full rate as we have to allow for staffing costs.
After School Club offers a more relaxed atmosphere, children have a snack and there is additional time for child choice activities such as: ICT activities, crafts, construction, puzzles, toys and games. Children may also wish to complete their homework and home reading while at the club, with help provided from the staff, should they need it.
During this time staff fully supervise the children and ensure all children’s needs are met. Activities will be reviewed to evaluate what has worked well.

Accidents and Illness
Lion Club follows school procedure which in summary is as follows:
In any event of a child feeling ill or having an accident the parent/carer will be contacted immediately. The parent contact form must contain a contact person and telephone number.
In the case of a minor accident a member of staff from the club will attend to the child (if consent is given – see school admissions information). A record of the accident will be completed on our accident forms.
In the case of a more serious accident, parent/carer will be contacted immediately to collect their child and take them to a medical centre. If this cannot be done swiftly the paramedics will be called.
Complaints
The club will deal with all complaints as quickly and as effectively as possible and in line with school procedure.
Child Protection
Under child protection legislation, the club has a duty to protect children in its care and will ensure that this is done in line with school policy. Our safeguarding policy is available on our school website.

Staff will promote and maintain a positive and caring environment within the club. A full copy of the Behaviour Policy can be seen on the school website. The club expects that children will:
- Be polite to staff, parents and each other.
