Holiday Club

Our free Holiday Clubs run once a week during most school holidays. They create a safe space for children to:

participate in fun activities
make friends and socialise
explore new talents or interests

all with access to provided lunch and snacks throughout the day.

Booking children onto our Holiday Clubs

If you’d like to book your child(ren) onto our Holiday Clubs, we ask that you complete our Expression of Interest form for the relevant Holiday Club.

Please note that submitting this form does not automatically guarantee a place.

We know our free activities are very popular and spaces fill up quickly. To make sure we support the families who need us most, we prioritise places for children from lower‑income households, those receiving pupil premium, or those eligible for free school meals.

Expressions of interest are open for a set period. Once the closing date has passed, we review and confirm Holiday Club places.
