YOUR PE PARTNER
HEALTHY ACTIVITY FUNDED HOLIDAY CLUBS with PE Partner
We are really proud to be a partner on the Healthy Activity Fund Holiday clubs across Leeds.
Scroll down to find out more about this scheme, including how to book sessions for your children.
What is a Healthy Holiday?
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 Yorkshire Sculpture Park; Lotherton Hall; Herd Farm and the Seaside! As with the clubs, just check out the Healthy holidays booking site for a full list.
What do the children do at a PE Partner Healthy holiday club?
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!
Information about food at a Healthy Holiday club
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 and is provided by our partners Catering Leeds. They ask for special dietary requirements on the booking and Catering Leeds publish a list of allergens on their website.
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.

How does the funding work?
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 £17 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.
How to book sessions
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
We understand that this is frustrating, but it is beyond our control, so 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.
Working with schools across the city
This year we are working with 7 clusters (for 64 schools in total) across Leeds to deliver a wide reaching programme.
The full list of HAF activities is available through the LCC website.
SEND Places
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
Information for host schools
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.
STEP 2. Send out the SUPPORTED PLACE letter to all your free school meal children (we provided these as a digital letter)
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 give host schools a week to get their children booked on first though.
Our onsite coaching team will all hold clean DBS checks with PE Partner and have been recruited in line with Keeping Children Safe in Education legislation.
Partners
We are working closely with a number of Partners to deliver an inspiring and healthy programme of Healthy Holiday Clubs including Healthy Holiday Leeds, Foodwise and Child Friendly Leeds.
