Key dates:

  • Provisions go live: 16th February 

Parents can book a place on up to 4 sessions for each eligible child. 

What does HAF mean and am I eligible? 

HAF stands for Holiday Activity and Food Programme, and ensures young people who receive benefits-related free school meals can access food and activities during the holidays.

The programme provides organised holiday activities and a meal each day for children who have started Reception - Year 11, who are registered and receiving benefits related FSM.
