Childcare Vouchers and flexible Stay and Play sessions
Thu 25 Feb 2016A letter will be coming home tonight with all children to advise what we are pleased to announce two beneficial changes to our Breakfast Club and Stay and Play Schemes - firstly, we are now accepting Childcare Vouchers for both clubs, and secondly the Stay and Play club now has 3 session options.
Childcare Vouchers
Most employers who provide Childcare Vouchers do so through a salary sacrifice scheme. This means you agree to reduce your salary by a certain value, and receive Childcare Vouchers to the same value but pay no tax or National Insurance on these vouchers.
To join your employer's Childcare Vouchers scheme you first of all need to complete a salary sacrifice agreement. Your employer will give you directions on how to do this. After your agreement has been submitted to your employer, they will reduce your salary by the requested amount and arrange for vouchers to be provided to you.
For information about if the Childcare Voucher scheme is right for you, please visit: www.gov.uk/childcare-vouchers-better-off-calculator.
If you currently claim tax credits, please contact your local tax office to discuss (as each case is individual we cannot advise on whether paying for childcare will affect your entitlement).
Stay and Play flexible sessions
To offer more flexible after school care, there are now three sessions available to you:
The full session – 3.15pm – 5.45pm - £8.50
First session – this is a shorter session, from 3.15pm – 4.30pm and the charge is £5.00
Second session – from 4.15pm – 5.45pm and the charge is £5.00. This session is useful for parents whose children attend other after school activities, such as All4Sports, or a school run club.
Sessions can be booked via the School Gateway (please make sure the School Office have your correct email address to ensure you can create an account) at www.schoolgateway.com or via the paper based form which you can pick up from the leaflet holders to the left of the school office (or just ask in the office).

Rugby World Cup comes to Littleport!
Wed 30 Sep 2015Our Rugby World Cup week kicked off on 21st September!
To celebrate this exciting event, our classes each 'adopted' a country taking part, and learnt all about that country during the week. They might have learnt about the flag, the language, traditional dance, culture, history, made some food and so forth.
Everyone had a go at and had lots of fun playing rugby too, with a mid-week tournament officiated by Mr Newton and Mr Fox.
Then on Friday we 'travelled around the World' with everyone given a passport and visiting Argentina, Japan, Samoa, South Africa, Fiji, Australia...what a long trip! In each country children did quizzes and found out interesting facts, as well as sometimes trying the food! BBC Radio Cambridgeshire also visited us and the Ely Standard covered the fun (you can listen to the feature and read the story in the 'We're in the News!' section of 'Our School').
Our thanks to Mrs Pearce and Miss Crack for organizing our exciting Rugby World Cup week!
Please have a look at our photos below...
