SEND Clubs – February Half Term 2024

Home / SEND Clubs – February Half Term 2024

Welcome to the booking page for SEND clubs across Essex!

The half term clubs are funded through Essex County Council to provide free places for school aged children who are eligible for benefits based free school meals and children from ‘low income’ working families to book onto our clubs.

We are pleased to be able to provide a free, nutritious meal for all children on benefit based free school meals. For more information and meal plans, please contact the club directly. If you make the decision to send your child in with a packed lunch, please make sure it's as healthy and nutritious as possible.

Please note, our smaller half term programme is not linked to the Department for Education’s holiday activity and food programme, which takes place during holidays such as Easter, Summer and Christmas. As our half term programme is smaller, there are limited clubs and spaces available. You will not book on with your Holiday Activities voucher, but through this webpage instead.

SEND Levels Explained

We have identified four key categories to show the level of care that each of our SEND clubs can provide. These range from Level 1 (mild-moderate needs, fairly independent), through to Level 4 (more severe needs, dedicated support needed). Please check the four club levels below for the most suitable support for your child/ren.

When booking your child/ren onto a SEND club, please ensure you discuss with the provider any requirements or further support your child/ren may need prior to attending, so your child/ren can enjoy a positive club experience.

If you are not eligible for the Essex ActivAte programme, please register with Short Breaks for further SEND support.

Club Level 1:

This club will be suitable for child/ren who have mild to moderate needs
Who are able to use the toilet and eat their lunch with correct supervision but do not need direct support in doing so
This level is suitable for children who do not present behaviours at risk such as being of harm to themselves or to others

Club Level 2:

This club will be suitable for children who have mild to moderate needs, those who will need direct support with personal care and will need one to one support with eating their lunch
This level is suitable for children who do not present risky behaviours such as being of harm to themselves or to others

Club Level 3:

This club will be suitable for children who have moderate to severe needs, those who will need direct support with personal care and will need one to one support with eating their lunch

Club Level 4:
