If medication is required please complete the appropriate form under 'Medical' in our Additional information area.  This must be handed in on your child's first day of attendance.

Mobile Phones (updated)
 

PLEASE BE AWARE THAT WE HAVE MADE THE DECISION TO CHANGE OUR MOBILE PHONE POLICY. 

  • Mobile Phones are not permitted at Holiday Action for safeguarding reasons.
  • This applies to all year groups, including Years 6, 7, 8 and Action Plus too.
  • If a child needs to contact home, for any reason, they should inform Holiday Action Management and we will do so on their behalf.

Thank you for your cooperation.
