Holiday Activities and Food Fund (HAF) is back for the Summer Holidays
We are happy to announce that the Holiday Activities and Food Fund is returning over the upcoming Summer school holiday. Activities are available to all children in Years Reception to Year 11, who are in receipt of benefits related free school meals. Families are entitled to 16 days of Activity Camps. If a child is not registered for benefits related free school meals due to the universal offer, but an older sibling is, we are happy for them to be included.
Full information can be found here: Holiday Activity and Food Programme (HAF): Information for Families | Family Information Directory (oxfordshire.gov.uk)
Current activities can be found and booked online with more being added each day
