Every year the school seeks to provide pupils with the opportunity to experience exciting, challenging
and inspiring activity holidays. The benefits to the children are absolutely huge; all gain in confidence,
independence and self-belief whilst having a great time, developing and strengthening friendships and
creating lasting memories!

During the summer holidays there are a total of three weeks of activities, visits and days out which
children can choose to attend. In addition to providing exciting and fun experiences for our children,
the first two of these weeks are also available to other children from local schools with additional needs.

A typical week would include:

Dance with Gloucester Dance Company

Cricket

Football

Art

Cooking

Parachute games

Swimming at the Splash in Malvern

Tewkesbury Adizone (multi-skill, multi-sport and dance sessions) and time on a Bouncy Castle.

The third week is run with the Gloucestershire branch of the NAS and is specifically for children with ASD.

The activities for this week include:

Gloucestershire Active Sports

Cooking

Swimming at Malvern Splash

NAS ‘Gloucestershire’s Got Talent’ sessions

Drama workshops lead by the Everyman Theatre Reachout

Art

Football

Inflatable slide

Visits to Croft Farm Water Park at Bredons Hardwick for Kayaking and Water Rafting sessions.

Paying for Extra –curricular activities

Voluntary contributions from parents to cover costs of visits are requested. Where parents cannot afford to contribute this factor will not prevent their child from going on the visit in school time. It follows, however that where there are insufficient contributions it may not be possible for the visit to go ahead. Where parents experience financial difficulty over payment for trips, they should contact the Head teacher in confidence, as it may be possible to gain support from other sources of funding.
