Please find attached information for parents and carers about accessing the Holiday Activities and Food programme.

The HAF programme is targeted at children and young people eligible for benefits related free school meals but there is small percentage of places available for non-eligible children and young people. Please contact me if you want to refer a young person for one of the non FSM places.

Children who attend the holiday programmes develop new skills, improve communication, learn about working together, experience days out and new activities as well as receiving a healthy, nutritious meal. Attending holiday programmes has helped children be “school ready” for the new term and, in some cases, can improve attendance as well as supporting transition from primary to secondary school.

All activities can be booked via this link from 9 a.m. on Monday 1st December:

Here is a collection of listings for our HAF programme. If your child/ren receive benefit-related free school meals you are eligible for free sessions. Feel free to browse our wonderful activities and register your interest or book. If your child/ren do not receive benefit related free school meals....

Hello my name is Louise, I am doing this questionnaire as first hand data for my EPQ project (extended project qualification) My epq project topic is ‘how the design and architecture of schools has adapted to autistic people over the past 30 years’. It would help me a lot if people would fill it in so I know the perspective of how autism friendly different schools are to people.

this form will stay anonymous (this will be used as data for my EPQ)
