We are really proud to be a partner on the Healthy Activity Fund Holiday clubs across Leeds for a fifth consecutive year.
Please scroll down to find out more about this scheme, including how you can find out if your child is eligible for this funding support.
This scheme exists to help low income families and children who need a little more help to access holiday club provision.
PE Partner Healthy Activity clubs are designed to give children lots of opportunities to develop a positive relationship with physical activity and a healthy lifestyle. We play lots of games, some sports, have craft activities and we even make smoothies on some days!
As well as the clubs, this year we are also running a lot of family trips to fantastic attractions like Lotherton Hall; Herd Farm and the Seaside! As with the clubs, just check out the Healthy holidays booking site for a full list.
Leeds Community Hubs are free, welcoming spaces where staff can assist you in getting online and completing your Healthy Holidays Leeds registration.
Most hubs operate Monday to Friday, 9:00 AM to 5:00 PM, with some offering extended hours.
There are 26 Community Hubs across Leeds. You can find their opening times, and contact details on the Leeds City Council website: leedslibraries@leeds.gov.uk For more information email: leedslibraries@leeds.gov.uk
We try to make the clubs fun for everyone who comes, so it’s not just sports, it’s games, and tresure hunts, and dance and crafts and making smoothies and music! It’s a whirlwind and children won’t get bored with us!
On arrival at the holiday clubs, all the children will get a piece of fruit as a breakfast snack, before engaging in a packed day of games, sports, and fun, wrapped around a hot and healthy lunch. All the food is vegetarian, halal and kosher and is prepared fresh and in line with the food standards expected.
If your child is eligible for a Healthy Holidays meal, but would prefer a packed lunch on certain days, please feel free to send them to the club with one.
A lot of people like to look at a grid, so this table is an up to date list of when and where our clubs and trips are happening this summer across Leeds.
We are extremely proud to be the lead partner for 7 Leeds clusters, made up of 64 partner schools.
Morley Cluster; Coop Collab; Inner East Cluster; Headingley & Kirkstall partnership; 2Gether Cluster: Rothwell Cluster; Jess Cluster
We are working with a number of partner schools who have received funding support for their pupils from this important national scheme.
If your child is eligible for income related free school meals your child can attend the clubs and to receive a fruit breakfast and a hot lunch.
We want to make our clubs a Universal provision, meaning that every child can attend, so those who have not received a supported place can pay £20 per day per place to book on the clubs. As funding is limited to feeding the children with a supported place, we ask paying parents and families to send their children with a packed lunch.
ALL places on clubs or on trips must now be booked through the Leeds city council HAF website, which can be found here: https://healthyholidays.leeds.gov.uk
Please direct all enquiries regarding Healthy Holiday bookings to the council team. You can contact them through their website. You will need to create an account, add your children and get verified as eligible to receive the funding support, then you may book sessions with all the HAF providers for activities across the city.
Please understand that you may be asked to show your booking confirmation at registration when you drop your children off. Some people have confirmation of a verified account, but are not confirming the sessions they want, so we are having to turn them away as their children are not on our registers. Please double check your booking confirmation shows the sessions you have booked before setting off for HAF club.
We are very proud of our record of supporting children with special education needs and disabilities to engage in positive physical activities and we have helped hundreds of SEND children to access our sessions.
It is essential to us that we can properly support children, and that it is always a positive experience. While we make all reasonable adjustments to make sessions inclusive, there are some children who do need an additional team member to support their attendance and this is not always possible. We work hard to secure funding support so that we can give children with 1to1 needs the extra coach, but this isn’t always possible and we will not be able to accommodate complex needs without having the appropriate funding and the right team members in place.
For the HAF holiday clubs we have one supported place per day at each club and is available to a child from the host school only.
The SENCo in the school will choose the child or children they feel will engage, want to be there and will benefit the most from this place. This can be 1 child for 4 days, or 4 children for a day each (or a mix), but places are limited to 1 supported child per day.
It is vitally important that you share some information with PE Partner so that they can support your child appropriately, so please get in touch with us on info@pepartner.co.uk
All the clubs and trips need to be booked directly through Leeds City Council’s booking system, but you can access a full list of where we are running the PE Partner summer clubs and trips from by clicking on the link or the picture.
If you are hosting a club on behalf of your group, here are the steps. We’ll provide all the letters and information you need and handle any parent enquiries, but we do need a little bit of help getting the word out.
Here’s what we need you to do
STEP 1. Identify any children you think will benefit and might need help booking - if you are booking for these children please make sure you use their parent email and not your own so that they receive the information and confirmation.
If there are children you wish to support with funding who are not eligible for free school meals, please let us know and we can support them with a code. 15% of the funded cohort can be targeted children.
STEP 2. Send out letter the digital flier to all your families Click here
Please note that when schools host a club, that club is open to the children from the consortium group (unless you specifically request that it is limited to your pupils). We do try to prioritise host schools to get their children booked on first though.
Our onsite coaching team all hold clean DBS checks with PE Partner, Emergency aid, Safeguarding training and have been recruited in line with Keeping Children Safe in Education legislation. The lead coach also holds appropriate a Paediatric first aid qualification.
