Holiday schools are run regularly in all the school holidays at Prestwich and Stretford. In the summer we hope to extend this to Worsley. Please keep yourself updated via the website for terms dates, click on the holiday school you are interested in on the main menu 'holiday school' then select school.

Holiday school is all-round super fun for the entire week. Your child can be dropped off with us from as early as 8.30am and stay with us until 5.30pm.

Normal lessons are from 9.30am - 4.30pm and the cost of this is just £89 for the week.

The 'Early Bird' drop off & late pick up is just £10 extra for the week.

In a relaxed, safe atmosphere the children are engaged all day long in art, singing, dance and drama. The emphasis of the week is to work towards a show the following Friday.

Each holiday school has a theme, for example, 'Follow the Yellow Brick Road', 'Henry V111', 'HairSpray', 'Streetvibes' etc. For this half term February 15th -19th, 2010 it’s 'House of Laughter'.

'House of Laughter' is aimed at all things comedy and over the week the children and young people will learn sketches, songs and routines from comedy legends as well as up to date material and on top of this create their own unique work. We thought we would make 2010 a year of laughter and what better way to start!

The team for holiday school are our regular Footlights staff (all holding enhanced CRBS) so why not have a browse through their profiles?

Safety is key at all our venues and holiday school is no different, a full risk assessment and fire drill is completed on day one once all the children are signed in and gathered together. The front door is always locked.

What parents say;

Hi Jo,
I thought the show was excellent, we attended the matinee yesterday. It was great to see what everyone has been practising so hard for. Jessica (Hyde - Tiny\'s Stretford) has been extremely secretive about the whole affair so it was fantastic to see it at last. I thought Mic & sarah should be very proud of themselves. Jo I think what you do is fantastic, very inspirational. Thank you.
Gaynor.
