Your Questions, Answered
-
For our Leigh-on-Sea holiday clubs, children will require a packed lunch from home.

We’re passionate about inclusivity here at Active Academy and always strive to cater to every child’s needs and interests.
To help us provide the best possible support for your child, it is essential that we are informed of any special educational needs or disabilities prior to attendance. Please ensure you complete the relevant sections on our intake form and use the upload function to provide an ISP or EHCP if applicable.
If your child is accustomed to working in small groups or requires 1:1 support while in our care, it is the parent/carer’s responsibility to inform us with at least 14 days' notice. This allows us sufficient time to arrange additional staff and resources if necessary. We will always do our best to accommodate these needs; however, additional staffing cannot always be guaranteed.
If we determine that your child requires additional support that was not disclosed on the intake form, they may be sent home for safety reasons and invited to return once we can fully accommodate their needs. Please note that refunds will not be issued in this instance. This policy is in place to ensure the wellbeing of all children and staff.
We encourage parents and carers to reach out at their earliest opportunity if their child has SEN so we can work together to provide the best possible support.

Not at all! Our holiday clubs are open to all schools as we are based in our own private hall, just off of Leigh Broadway.

AND:
If your child is in infants, prone to accidents or have specific medical needs which may mean they have accidents, we highly recommend they bring a spare change of clothes.
