Dudley HAF Winter 2025 What's On Guide
The Holiday Activities and Food (HAF) Programme is a government-funded initiative that provides low-income families with funded holiday activities and a meal in the school holidays. Over the Winter holidays, children are allocated 4 credits to book 4 funded sessions.
Who is eligible?
In line with the Department for Education’s guidelines, HAF funding is primarily allocated to school-aged children (Reception to Year 11) who receive benefits-related free school meals. A small number of discretionary places are available for children who are not eligible for free school meals but are considered vulnerable. However, as these places are limited, they are offered at the discretion of the local authority and cannot be guaranteed.
Further information and the online form to register can be found on our website: Dudley Holiday Activities | Children's Activities | Dudley HAF
BIG BOUNCE

DPA - Learn to Play
Safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children is the responsibility of everyone in our school and at all times we consider what is in our children's best interests. We work to ensure our children are safe and cared for and by doing this we are protecting their health and development and preventing them from harm. If we are worried, we will raise concerns, share information and take prompt action with the aim of ensuring families receive the right help at the right time.
