Summer play schemes
The Local Authority commissions summer holiday play schemes as part of the Short Breaks Innovation funding for children with special educational needs and disabilities. Parents are expected to contribute no more than £10 per day per child. Details are published in the Summer edition of the SNIX magazine and details are listed here.
2021 - The Local Offer is yet to be advised of any additional sessions other than those listed above.
District and Borough Councils in Northamptonshire
Holiday activities are organised for all children by the district and borough councils. Some of these may be suitable for children with special educational needs and disabilities, although there should be reasonable adjustments in place to ensure that they can attend. See your local council for more information.
Summer Holiday Activities and Healthy Food Support - please note that this is for all students eligible for free school meals, and not just children with a special educational need.
The project will operate throughout Northamptonshire at a range of selected venues, offering children experiences including sport, dance, drama, inflatable fun, and creative arts and crafts. Children registered on the scheme will also have access to healthy food and drink.
Free places are available to children who are eligible for free school meals for the equivalent of at least 4 hours a day (a session), 4 days a week, for a maximum of a 4-week period.
