LIBERTON AFTER SCHOOL CLUB

​

Founded in 1999, Liberton After School Club (LASC) provides after school care during term time and holiday care during most school holidays, for children attending Liberton Primary School. 

The Club is a registered charity and although managerially and financially independent from the school we work together in partnership 

Our mission is to provide high quality, affordable childcare, enabling parents and carers to seek employment or studies with peace of mind knowing that their children are being cared for in a safe environment. 

We promote social, emotional and physical wellbeing and encourage the children to develop life skills, a sense of fairness, fun and respect, showing courtesy to each other and adults alike. The Club encourages a healthy, active lifestyle. 

• The Club aims to offer a safe, stimulating and child friendly environment for four to twelve year olds outside school hours Mondays to Fridays. Some children may attend every day while others attend only on specific days. 

  • Monday – Thursday: Primary 1–3 children are based in the Hub on the school campus. The Primary 4-7 club runs from Inch House Community Centre. This arrangement allows us to plan activities to better meet the needs and interests of our children and young people.  

  • Friday: LASC operates from the HUB at the school 

• A wide range of stimulating play and learning activities are on offer, which include art & crafts, board games, sports, imaginative and creative play as well as the opportunity for homework and quiet play. The school’s gym hall is frequently available to the Club, and outdoor play is actively encouraged, weather permitting. We provide an afternoon snack and refreshments. 
  
   

• LASC is registered with the Care Inspectorate which inspects the Club regularly to ensure the compliance with their standards. We have Covid policies and procedures in place to ensure that we meet government guidelines and can operate as safely as possible. These are constantly reviewed and updated. 
  
   

• The Club is run by a team of staff including the Managers and several play workers. The mandatory maximum staff: child ratio is 1:10 Monday to Thursday and 1:8 on Friday
