SUMMER HOLIDAYS
January Holiday Programmes & Workshops
We have a wide variety of programmes and workshops running this Summer. Our normal holiday programme consists of several rotations during the day. The day starts with ice breaker games to unite the group, then children are divided into age groups (12 maximum per group) rotating around a variety of art, drama, dance & music activities, often with a surprise guest. Rotations are 75 mins long with a break in between. We have a 'no electronics' policy; instead we play games, cards and activities in our break times, and the kids love it.
Our teachers are skilled at teaching, caring and nurturing children.
Students love the variety and balance of activities and often return for the next holidays.
We look forward to seeing your children in our programmes.
