Frequently Asked Questions – After-School Clubs for Schools
1. Do you provide after-school STEM and coding clubs for schools?
Yes! We run engaging, educational after-school clubs for Key Stages 1–3, focusing on coding, robotics, physical computing, digital literacy, engineering, and problem solving. We currently offer clubs to schools across Rutland, Leicestershire, and Lincolnshire.
2. How much does it cost to run a club?
Each session costs £7.50 per child, per week. However, we strongly believe cost shouldn’t be a barrier to learning, and we’re always happy to work with your school to find a pricing structure that suits your community.
3. How long is each club session?
We’ll match your school’s standard club times, whether that’s 45 minutes or a full hour. We’re flexible to your timetable and can adapt session lengths accordingly.
4. What do children learn at your clubs?
Pupils explore real-world topics through hands-on coding and STEM projects, including Scratch and Python programming, robotics, sensors, game and app design, AI, machine learning, and online safety.
5. Can we trial a session first?
Yes. We offer a free trial session to assess student interest. If enough children sign up, we’ll set up payment links for parents or work with your admin team — whatever works best.
6. Who handles the payments?
You can choose for parents to pay us directly by half term or term via our secure booking system, or your school can collect payments and we invoice you. We're happy to support whichever process fits best.
7. How many children can join each club?
We usually cap clubs at 20 pupils, with an average staff-to-child ratio of 1:10 to ensure high-quality delivery and attention for each learner.
8. Who runs the sessions?
All our clubs are led by qualified childcare practitioners (minimum NVQ Level 2), who are enhanced DBS-checked, first aid trained, and fully trained in safeguarding and Prevent. Our team has experience working in a wide range of school settings.
9. Do we need to provide equipment?
Not necessarily. We can use your school’s computer suite, laptops or tablets, or we can bring our own. If we bring our own, we’ll just need access to WiFi. We also bring all of our own STEM and coding resources. All we ask is for a classroom with a projector or whiteboard.
10. How do we get started?
Simply fill out the enquiry form on our website and we’ll be in touch to arrange a free trial session and take care of the setup. Alternatively, drop us a line at hello@younginnovatorsclub.com.
