Breakfast Club
We want every child at Stebon to start the day with everything they need in order to learn effectively; a fundamental element of this is a healthy, filling breakfast. The chance to socialise with peers & adults, to keep fit & play also play an important role in readying children for the day ahead.
We are currently running a breakfast club every morning from 8am. This gives every child the opportunity to start the day with healthy food in their tummies & a smile on their face.
Children can arrive any time between 8 am and 8.40 am and they will be offered a selection of healthy breakfast options: a variety of cereals, porridge oats, bagels (with a variety of fillings), juice, milk. A great way to start the day! The breakfast club benefits from support from the Magic Breakfast Mayor’s Fund for London Project.
All food served at breakfast club is halal. We also cater for different dietary needs. Breakfast club costs just £1 per day and the children can come for any number of days each week. This fee may be reduced or waived in order to meet the needs of an individual childs’ SEND support. Or as a part of the school’s short term package of support for families in need.
This give every child the opportunity to start the day with the right fuel for learning.
After School Clubs
Pupils in Reception – Year 6 can sign up to take part in a variety of after school clubs each term. We run a wide variety of clubs including; swimming, sports, cooking, homework, karate and drama. Most clubs run from 3.30-4.30 pm.
For working parents, ‘Teatime Club’ offers a later pick-up time at 5:30. This includes nursery-aged children
During lunchtimes children have opportunities to take part in several other clubs throughout the year.
Saturday School - SHINE @ Stebon
We are delighted to host a Saturday School here at Stebon. Having started in January 2015, we are now in our eighth year. We have 60 spaces for children from Y3-Y6 who enjoy learning new and different things on a Saturday. We take advantage of our freedom to learn what we wish; we visit exciting places on trips and have wonderful experiences every week.
So far we have been on an adventure day to Gillwell Park, visited a show about animals as well as going to the Natural History Museum and a trip to Buckingham Palace. We don’t waste a minute – our future plans include drama workshops, a cycle cinema and a trip to Shrek studios!
Saturday school at Stebon is part funded partly by Shine, Poplar Harca & ourselves. The key is that we learn new things in fun ways. It’s giving our children chance to ‘Shine’.

Parents of nursery children are invited to stay and play in the nursery with their children once a week. Stay and Play time is usually advertised in our weekly newsletter. They may also bring younger siblings with them. Toy packs are available for parents and children to borrow each week.
Services for Families
We employ a social worker two days a week to work with families who would like support & can arrange to host a drop-in with a family adviser from the Child & Adolescent Mental Health Service (CAMHS).
