HAF Programme
Holiday Activities and Food Programme:
Research has shown that the school holidays can be pressure points for some families. For some children this can lead to a holiday experience gap, with children from low- income households being:
-less likely to access organised out-of-school activities.
-more likely to experience ‘unhealthy holidays’ in terms of nutritional and physical health.
-more likely to experience social isolation.
Funded by the DfE, we are aiming to tackle these issues and have actively got involved in delivering The HAF Programme. This is a programme to support children and young people aged 4-16 years (reception to year 11) who are in receipt of pupil premium or free school meals (benefit related), to access enriching activities and a hot tasty meal and heathy snacks daily and is FREE admission.
The programme is on offer for up to 4 hours per day, 4 days per week, for a maximum of one week at Easter and Christmas and 4 weeks during the Summer.
Our HAF Programmes host a range of games and activities including the following;
- Fun Fitness with Coach
- Tag Games
- Circle Games
- Parachute Games
- Arts and Crafts
- Invasion Games
- Archery
