It is possible to register your interest in a particular club at the start of a new term. This is to give teachers an idea of how many children are interested in the club and DOES NOT GUARANTEE YOUR CHILD PLACE. A permission letter will be sent home with your child, which must be returned to the teacher in charge. You will then receive written notification of whether your child has a place in the club or not.
