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. There are some fantastic holiday activities available locally, from sports to craft, drama 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.
CHECK OUT OUR HOLIDAY ACTIVITIES LEAFLETS
FOR LOTS OF IDEAS ABOUT WHAT TO DO DURING THE SCHOOL HOLIDAYS
From Tots to Teens, there's Something for Everyone!
HALF TERM HOLIDAYS: We don't produce leaflets for the half term holidays, but do post details of some activities on this webpage. Many of the organisations listed below and in our leaflets also provide clubs and activities at half terms too, so it is worth giving them a ring.
Many of the schools in the Confederation run a number of clubs and activities before, during and after the school day. They may also run or host activities during the holidays. Some of these are extended to children outside the school and to adults in the community.
