Unfortunately, we only run sessions during term time. However, we offer special workshops and holiday provision. The team will ensure that this information is circulated to parents and young people.
Can parents watch?
We ask that parents do not come into the hall to watch as this is sometimes distracting for the other children.

We also recognise that some families may be affected by the cost of living crisis, and would like to offer support to those who may be struggling.
