Holiday Activities
Parents asked us to let them know about the different activities and clubs available during the school holidays, be it holiday clubs providing childcare or activities to keep their children active and interested. Our first listing came out in Summer '08 and we're trying to find more activities each time we produce a leaflet. You can view the latest list by clicking on the image below.
There are some fantastic holiday activities available locally, from sports activities to craft and drama activities and children’s multi-activity weeks. In response to your requests, we’ve tried to include more for our older pupils, so on our leaflets check out the activities indicated with a Good for Teens flash.
Currently we produce leaflets for the SUMMER, CHRISTMAS and EASTER holidays. Although we aren't producing leaflets for the half term holidays, you'll find that lots of the organisations listed provide clubs and activities at half terms too. So for HALF TERM holidays, click on a leaflet below and call some of the organisations listed.
