Our Wrap-around Care Club is known as 'WACC' and offers high quality in-house before and after school club care for Chad Vale children who require it on-site.
We provide a weekly Breakfast Menu and After School Club Snack Menu. The School has been awarded a 5 Star Hygiene food certificate with all of our staff receiving individual Food Hygiene certificates.
We begin the session with a freshly prepared tasty snack to reward them for their hard day’s learning. Followed by Outdoor play or fun indoor activities such as crafts, sports, a movie or numerous toys.
Introduction
On entering our Breakfast/After School Club all new starters are bound to feel some type of anxiety, that is very normal and why we recommend that an induction visit to the club in your first week of joining the school. This is where both parent/carers and child/children can attend the club for 30-60 minutes as a taster session to see exactly where it is located (Hall) and how it operates.
To make an appointment simply contact p.goodman@chadvale.bham.sch.uk
We are here to help you and your child settle in! All information is provided on this page, however, if you have any questions or queries please let us know.
Always feel you can talk to any member of our team about anything, we will always make time for you.

When you drop off your child in the morning, we will ask you to sign them IN to the club.
When you collect your child in the afternoon, we will ask you to sign them OUT of club.
Staff members cannot sign your child in or out. This is to ensure your child safely arrives and leaves the site.
