Primary Schools are now required to publish alongside their performance information a list of their childcare provision making it easier for parents to know what is available.

Breakfast club

St Patrick’s Catholic Primary School, Dipton, offers before school childcare in the format of Breakfast Club which runs from 8am to 8.45am each morning (at 8.45am the Breakfast Club children join the rest of the pupils in moving to their classrooms). The Breakfast Club is led by Mrs N Hague and Mrs A Miller. Both members of staff have relevant qualifications including Food Hygiene Level 2 and Mrs Hague is First Aid trained.

After school clubs

We do not currently offer permanent after school childcare provision. We run topic/activity based after school clubs until 4.15pm on certain days of the week. If you are looking full after school hours care we have a very good relationship with Dipton Out of School Hours Club which runs from Collierley School in the village. Please contact Debra Newton on 07941 462390 for full details.
