The extended schools service, Sunrise and Sundown, is available for all full-time children from Reception to year 6. The extended schools service is intended to support the community. It provides the children with a safe stimulating environment, whilst providing support for families who are in work or are getting back into work or education. Our hope is that the service will help improve outcomes for children and their families. 

Staff are first aid trained and are food hygiene certificated. Appropriate ratios are met and risk assessments are conducted for all extended schools services. A maximum of 40 children are permitted to Sunrise and Sundown Clubs. 

Sunrise and Sundown Clubs are held in the school hall in Times Square hall.  Children must be accompanied to the door by an adult when attending Sunrise Club and must be supervised by their family member until an adult has answered the door.

Non payment of fees 

You cannot book a place at Sunrise or Sundown without making payment. If you arrive at either club and have not booked you will be called to collect your child and may be charged.

Absences 

Any absences from sessions booked will be charged in full. Sessions will not be rolled over. 

All bookings must be made using our School Gateway App and have to be paid for at the time of booking. Please note the new app will only let you book if there is space available. Sunrise & sundown are getting more popular. We recommend you book as far in advance as possible to reduce the risk of the clubs being full. If you have any queries, please contact extsch@eastwoodprimary.southend.sch.uk in the first instance.

Please note, Sundown closes at 4.30pm on the last day of every half term.

If your child is on a reduced timetable or dual registered, due to attending an alternative provision, they will be unable to access Extended Schools.

If you are going to be late to collect your child, you will need to contact Sundown on the emergency number: 07871065148 and arrange for someone else to collect your child. A late fee will be incurred. 

If you have paid until 4:30pm and arrive to collect your child after that time, you will be billed for the whole session (an additional £2:00). If this happens on more than three occasions you will no longer be eligible to book the shorter session. 

Sundown will close at 5:30pm if you are late to collect your child you will incur a £5:00 fine for every 15 minutes that you are late. In addition to this, a call may be made to social care to collect your child from the premises. From 5:30pm there will not be anyone at school to supervise your child. It is your responsibility to collect your child on time. 

If you arrive to collect your child after 5:30pm on more than three occasions, your place may be withdrawn. 

If the school deems there has been continuous late collection of your child we may inform social care. 

We expect all our children to follow our school rules whilst attending Sunrise and Sundown.  If their behaviour becomes an issue families  will be contacted, if it continues to be an issue the child's place will be withdrawn.
