Please find below information regarding term 3 and 4 after school clubs at Granton Primary School.
Important Information

Booking
You will be able to book your child into a club via the ParentMail app under Payments > Shop on Saturday 3rd January 2026 at 6:00pm. External clubs are available to book via separate sign up links you will receive on Saturday 20th December 2025 at 6:00pm. You can go to https://www.grantonprimary.org.uk/After-School-Club-Information/ and have a look at the ASC timetable.
- Spaces are allocated in a first come, first served basis. If you have missed availability for a club, you are able to sign up to the waiting list and you will be contacted if a space becomes available.
ParentMail
By paying online through ParentMail you will automatically be agreeing to the After School Club Late pick up fees, Behaviour and Responsibilities Contract, which can be found on the school website.
Please make sure you update all your contact, collection and medical details through the school office or via email: admin1@grantonprimary.org.uk. For any further information please visit the school website: www.grantonprimary.org.uk
Snacks
Please provide your child/ren with a small snack in line with the school’s healthy eating policy. This should be eaten before the club starts. Please do not send any products that contain nuts as we have pupils with severe nut allergies. Your child will have a maximum of 10 minutes to eat snacks before clubs start so please ensure that the quantity is suitable for this time restraint.
After School Club
Late pick up fees, refunds, behaviour and responsibilities
In the unfortunate event that clubs must be cancelled, we will inform you via ParentMail, so please ensure the school office has up-to-date contact details for you. Any cancellations will be refunded via ParentMail or fulfilled at a later date. We will let you know which via ParentMail.
We want our children at Granton to thrive, learn new skills and have fun at our after-school clubs, therefore it is necessary for us to outline what is expected from all.
Behaviour
- The children are expected to always maintain good behaviour and attitude towards each other and staff.
- Staff are to maintain their highest level of professionalism and standards whether a direct Granton employee or contracted by the school.
- Parents/Carers are expected to uphold the Parent/Carer Code of Conduct signed by every parent/carer.
- Parents/Carers must ensure their Child is collected on time for each session; this also applies to any persons collecting your child on your behalf.
No adults are allowed on site during any of the after-school clubs. All parents/carers are to wait at the main gate on Granton Road near the school office for collection. This is to create a safe and controlled environment for the safety of all children on the premises. Clubs will be brought to the gate and released one at a time for safeguarding purposes and will come out on a first come, first served basis.
If behaviour from the Children or Parents/Carers is unsatisfactory, the Child’s place in any club will be withdrawn, without refund.
If you have any queries about any issues regarding the after-school clubs run at Granton please contact asc@grantonprimary.org.uk
Late Collection of Children from After School Clubs
It is an important term and condition of service that you collect your child(ren) on time after they have finished their after school club.
Late collection has an impact on both children and club and school staff.
Granton Primary School understands that parents/carers may occasionally find it impossible to collect their child(ren) on time, due to unforeseen circumstances, however this will result in additional late fees.
There is a late payment fee of £10.00 per child for the first 10 minutes. For collection more than 10 minutes late, you will be charged £5.00 every 5 minutes thereafter.
The late payment fee should be paid on collection of your child(ren) or before 2:00pm the following day. Failure to make payment will result in your child(ren) being unable to attend any other afterschool club until payment has been made in full.
Regular late collection
If you are late collecting your child(ren) more than 3 times within a term for one club, this will result in your child(ren) having their space withdrawn from this specific club without a refund.
Inclusion at ASCs
We do not want any child to miss enrichment opportunities, especially in the light of the current financial climate. Therefore, if your child is in receipt of FSM or your child meets the Pupil Premium Grant (PPG) criteria, is a Young Carer, a Looked After Child or Post LAC, please make direct contact with the school inclusion manager, Jane Costin, via jcostin@grantonprimary.org.uk (Subject: After School Clubs) to see if we can accommodate a space for them. Please note that there would be a maximum of two club spaces allocated per term in this circumstance.
