Dear Parent / Carer
The Department for Education (DfE) has provided grant funding to South Tyneside Council, to
co-ordinate free holiday provision for children and young people aged 5-16 years entitled to freeschool meals. The HAF programme has key objectives for children including:
To have access to free healthy food over the school holidays
To be more active during the school holidays
To take part in free fun, engaging and enriching activities supporting resilience and wellbeing
To be safe and make new friends in a sociable environment.
During the main school holidays of Easter, Summer and Christmas thousands of places can be booked ‘free of charge’ for a vast range of sport, arts/crafts, dance, and drama activities, along with family events such as bowling at The Dunes, nature activities at the Brockley Allotments and performances at The Customs House. We also have organisations that provide specific sessions for
SEND children.
All information regarding the activities on offer and how to book can be found at:
www.southtyneside.gov.uk/holidayclub and bookings for our Spring programme will go live at
4pm on Friday 17 th March.
Please refer to the letter and leaflet attached for more information.
If your child hasn’t had a flu vaccination and you would like them too, the School Immunisation Team have arranged a flu vaccine clinic at Palmers Hospital in Jarrow, Monday – Friday 3:30- 4:45, all this week and next.
This is for children in reception to Year 6 and Secondary Year 7,8 and 9.
