KOOSA Kids After School Club at St Edmund's Primary School Godalming
St. Edmund's After School Club Operational Changes from September 2020
We are delighted to be able to reopen our after school club at St. Edmund's Primary School for the new school year, in a Covid-Secure way and in-line with latest guidance from the Department for Education.
Whilst there will be changes in the way we operate our after school club, our after school club will continue to offer a welcoming, safe & fun space for your child to relax and have fun with friends after a busy school day. Click here to read how our clubs will operate in a Covid-Secure way.
Staggered Collection Times
In-line with Government guidelines, staggered collection times will be in place to reduce crowds, limit contact, allow more time for children to be outside & for KOOSA Kids staff to maintain cleaning schedules.
We kindly ask you to respect the timings below and not to collect your children outside of these time frames as Site Supervisors will not be able to accommodate this. Registration at each specific time will be open for 15 minutes or until everyone in the queue has been signed out.
Please only collect your child from the after school club at one of the following times:
- 4:15pm or 4:45pm or 5:15pm or 5:45pm
Collection will be outside, regardless of the weather, and parents will not be able to enter the building. KOOSA Kids staff will offer a contactless sign in, where parents will be asked to review any information and staff will countersign on their behalf. To collect, please make your way through the side playground & turn right by the trim trail or follow the yellow & black KOOSA Kids signs.
How will my child be looked after?
Your children will be grouped in 'bubbles' according to Department for Education guidelines and as agreed with the school. Year R, 1 & 2 will form one bubble with Year 3, 4, 5 & 6 forming a second bubble. Each bubble will be allocated a dedicated space and equipment in the Map Room and IT Room.
To avoid disappointment, we would like to remind you that we are unable to guarantee your child will be placed in the same bubble as their friends. Please note, bubbles will not mix throughout the session.
Suitably qualified staff, including Paediatric First Aiders, are present at the club at all times.

After School Club Activities
Every afternoon, we offer a variety of activities at our after school clubs to suit your children's needs and energy levels.
Whether they simply want to sit quietly and read a book, enjoy some creative time at one of our art tables or play with their friends inside or outside, our after school club team will accommodate their needs and help them enjoy their time at KOOSA Kids.
Free Time Zone lets your child choose what they wish to do at the end of a busy school day.
We understand that at the end of a busy school day, children are often tired and may just want to chill out during their time with us. For this reason, we schedule in Free Time Zone every day, straight after school until 4.15pm and last thing (5.15pm until 6.00pm).
During Free Time Zone children are able to choose what they want to do. There is a choice of playing board games, drawing, reading, Lego, Giant Jenga, puzzles, extensive art areas, watching a DVD and Playstation Zone (at limited times), Homework areas (optional) or just simply relaxing with friends.
Between the two Free Time Zones, the children may either choose to take part in a group activity from our Discovery & Endeavour Zone, or have supervised Free Play, utilising the extensive range of equipment we have available at each of our after school clubs. Weather permitting, we always aim to take the children outside during their time with us.
Discovery & Endeavour Zones enable your child to take part in a fun group activity.
Each after school club session gives children the option to take part in an organised activity from either our Discovery or Endeavour Zone.
There are hundreds of kids activities to choose from and these might include Clay Moulding, Lego Building, Cricket, Hockey, Golf, Football, Relays, Parachute Games, Bug Hunting, Painting / Drawing, Role Play and much, much more!
The group as a whole will decide each afternoon which activity to play. Alternatively, we offer free play as an organised activity, where the children choose exactly what they wish to take part in from a selection of equipment made available by the staff.
Special Activities provide unique opportunities for your child to learn & explore the world around them.
On top of the activities on offer each day in our Free Time and Discovery & Endeavour Zones, we also arrange occasional visits from community groups in the local area. For instance, visits from Local Fire and Police Crews have been a big hit with the children at our after school clubs in the last few years!
The crews who attend are fantastic. Often the children are given the chance to sit in the fire engine, try on the uniform and accessories and even operate the hoses! They really do have a fabulous time when the emergency services arrive!
Additionally, we support national charity events like Children in Need and Red Nose Day as well as awareness campaigns such as Road Safety Awareness Week and World Book Day. Where possible, we will also give children the opportunity to enter national competitions, e.g. the Games Inventor Competition.
