We would recommend that children wear comfortable clothing that they can wear for the whole day, e.g. sportswear and trainers.

In the event of hot weather, please ensure your child arrives with 24-hour sun-cream already applied. Please also bring a sunhat.

  • Mobile phones are permitted at Warwick School Holiday Action for children in School Years 6 and 7 only.
  • Phones are bought onto site at the owner’s own risk and Warwick School Holiday Action does not take any responsibility for any loss or damage incurred.

  • Staff on duty in the ‘Phone Zone’ will actively and closely supervise the use of mobile phones.
  • The ‘Phone Zone’ is for playing age appropriate games only, i.e. downloadable games that have an age certificate (PEGI rating) appropriate for the age of the children playing them
  • Pupils are not allowed to use their phones to:
    • Access or post on any social media websites (Facebook, YouTube, WhatsApp, Twitter, Instagram, Tik Tok, Snapchat, Reddit, Pinterest, etc)

Specific Fun Short Courses will also include a scheduled swim in the afternoon, e.g. Multi Sport and Swim.

If your child is booked on to swim, then please bring a swimming costume and towel (goggles are optional). Children will need to be able to swim at least 1 width of a recognised stroke (not doggy paddle) to be allowed to take part. If your child is not a confident swimmer, then flotation aids can be provided. Our lifeguards will have the final say on whether children will be allowed to swim.

Please note - swimming is currently only available for children in School Years 2 to 7

COVID-19
 

All COVID-19 restrictions have now ended. 

This means that:

  • Face coverings are no longer advised for pupils, staff and visitors in communal areas. However, we would advise that everyone continues to follow wider advice on face coverings outside of school, including on transport to and from the school. 
  • Individuals are no longer required to isolate if they have symptoms
  • Any identified close contacts, including those who live in the same household as a positive case, are no longer required to self-isolate or advised to take daily tests
  • Formal contact tracing has ended

The latest Government advice states:

If you have symptoms of COVID-19, and have a high temperature or do not feel well enough to carry out normal activities, try to stay at home and avoid contact with other people, until you no longer have a high temperature (if you had one) or until you no longer feel unwell.'

If you have a positive COVID-19 test result, it is very likely that you have COVID-19 even if you do not have any symptoms. 

  • For children and young people aged 18 and under, they should try to stay at home and avoid contact with other people for 3 days after the day they took the test. After 3 days, if they feel well and do not have a high temperature, the risk of passing the infection on to others is much lower.
  • For adults, they are advised to try to stay at home and avoid contact with other people for 5 days, which is when they are most infectious

For more information, please see the Government's Living with COVID plan.
