Home Page CLUBS LIST DODDINGTON SCHOOL TRAIL BLAZERS
The Discovery Club
has been set up to create initially a pre-school, which opened in March 2001,
and, in the near future, an after-school and holiday club provision in the
village of Doddington to serve the village and surrounding local area. There is
a great need for good quality, affordable and accessible childcare in the area
and we are responding to this local need and are positively encouraging
community participation by the help of local volunteers. The Discovery Club is
a registered charity (No. 1086950) and the committee have been actively raising
and securing funds to set up the club.
The Pre-School Club is currently
held in the Doddington Primary
School hall, by kind permission of the Head Teacher and opens on Mondays
and Fridays during term time between 9.30 - 11.15 am. The cost per session is
£4.00 and we currently have places available for children aged 2½-5
years.
If you have children of this age or children who will soon reach this age, please feel free to visit the Club and come and see for yourself how the children learn in a friendly and relaxed environment. Please contact the Pre-School Club Leader, Mrs Dawn Tompkins on 01795 886252 for further information .
After some hard work by the members of the Club, we have successfully obtained planning permission for a new mobile unit within the school grounds. This will enable the Club to put in place its plans to expand the Pre-school further and create an After School Club and Holiday Club for children rising 5 (Year R) to 12 years of age (Year 7) . The After School & Holiday Clubs will allow children to take part in many varied activities including sports, arts, crafts, languages, cookery, games (and even homework if they wish!).
For anyone interested in joining, looking for employment opportunities in running
the Clubs or with skills they would like to share and involve the children in
(for example, ornithology, pottery, gardening, etc), please contact Mrs Joan
Tuckey on 01795 890688 for further information.
