SUMMER SCHOOL

Our Summer School programme is grant funded for children eligible for benefits-related free school meals. We run the programme every summer in collaboration with our partners 198 Contemporary Arts & Learning and host a variety of workshops.

Together we deliver a four week programme, with two courses available to book: In Focus: Photography Course & Creative Minds: Art & Exercise Course. Please note, children are eligible to attend only one week.

In 2025 our summer school ran across 4 weeks in August, with each course lasting 4 days Tuesday- Friday.

In Focus: Photography Course Week 1: 5 August - 8 August

In Focus: Photography Course Week 2: 12 August - 15 August

Creative Minds: Art & Exercise Course Week 3: 19 August - 22 August

Creative Minds: Art & Exercise Course Week 4: 26 August - 29 August

The programme is aimed at supporting local families with children and young people aged 8 to 14.

Across the week, children have access to:

free healthy lunches
45 minutes of exercise per day
artistic workshops including photography, cyanotypes, zine making, vinyl t-shirt printing and clay

Children are encouraged to develop their sense of artistic style and expression in a safe and inclusive environment.

Sessions are designed for children of all skill levels; our focus over the week is always to prioritise and nurture your child’s sense of exploration and play in a community of their peers.

Our activities and services are intended to be inclusive to children and young people with Special Educational Needs and Disabilities (SEND).
