Ateliers

Parents do not need to come after class to take their child to Ateliers.

Children from PS to CP who are registered with Les Ateliers are escorted by a teacher’s assistant to the blue playground after class and dispatched into their club groups.

Our coordinator calls the register and each supervisor leads the children to the space in which the club takes place.

All clubs take place on the school premises, in classrooms or outside in the playground.

Pick up is at 4.30pm on Monday, Tuesday, Thursday and Friday and at 2.45pm on Wednesday from Gate B.

On Wednesdays, parents/carers enter through Gate A and exit through Gate B.

One exception: Football on Wednesday with Duet Academy takes place in South Park. Children are escorted to the park by the coaches and picked up directly from the park.

Who?

Les Ateliers and the Morning Garderie are exclusively for pupils of Marie d’Orliac and Fulham Bilingual.

Holy Cross pupils cannot attend clubs on Wednesdays as they are in class at that time.

The clubs supervisors are mostly school teaching staff (teachers, assistants and playground supervisors) as well as some specialist external teachers.

You can find the names of each club supervisor on the schedule or club pages.
