Your child will need to wear appropriate clothing and footwear for outdoor games and arts. They will also need a morning snack, lunch and plenty to drink. Weather appropriate coats, sun cream and sun hats also need to be packed depending on what time of the year your holiday club is. Although you may need all of the above at any point!

Please report absenses to the club coach. If a child doesn't arrive at a club then the school will be notifies immediately and a search will be carried out to find them, a phone call home will also take place to ensure that your child is safe. These searches do cause discruption so please let  the coaches know If your child is not attending. If your child is absent from school then we can check with the school and establish that quickly, in this circumsance you do not need to report the absense to Spark as well.

We will make every effort to get outside, however every now and again we have to accept defeat and stay inside. If an approriate space is not available inside to conduct the activity then a class room based activity will be run. We do not cancel clubs because of the weather (we are in Britain after all), a coach will always provide a session.
