Summer Activity Weeks

IMPORTANT BOOKING INFORMATION FOR 2024 (PLEASE READ)

• It is credit to our staff and your children that our Activity Weeks are proving to be so successful, owing to this, demand for places has increased. Therefore, we have made the decision that all bookings must now be done solely through Eventbrite. Therefore once the deadline has passed, I am afraid, there will not be an opportunity to add your child’s/children’s name to the list.
• Dates for our 2024 Summer Activity Weeks are as follows: 29th July-2nd August and 19th August-23rd August
• Bookings will open at the beginning of February half term and will not close until June, unless demand determines otherwise. Please keep an eye out on our social media and our website to ensure you secure your places. 
• Please ensure when you book you complete the CONSENT FORM (which will be made available when bookings open) as this too will not be available once Eventbrite has closed. It is extremely important we receive this information.

These are open to all children who are due to start Reception in September 2024 up to those due to start Year 10 in September 2024.

It is a fun-filled week of activities, ranging from swimming, Forest School and canoeing, to onsite activities such as Catch the Flag, baking and Quick Cricket. No coaching – just fun!

Children can elect not to take part in certain activities they are not sure about. However, the more general activities do require everyone to join in.

Costs for 2024 will be displayed here, once bookings open in February 2024.
