The Holiday Activity and Food Programme, known throughout Derbyshire as ‘It’s About Me’ is funded by the Department for Education and gives eligible young people access to FREE places at holiday clubs across the county.
If your child is aged between 4-16 and is eligible for benefits-related free school meals, then they are entitled to access It’s About Me holiday clubs for free! There are a huge range of activities available including sports and games, arts and crafts, cookery, dance and music. All clubs include a nutritious meal too! Programmes vary depending on the type and location of each club.
If your child is not eligible for the It’s About Me programme, many clubs also offer paid places which you can book with them directly.
To book your holiday club you will need your unique IAM code which will be distributed via your child’s school. If you have not received your code, but believe your child is eligible for the programme, please contact your school office. To book your activities and to find out more information go to www.itsaboutmederbyshire.co.uk or speak to your school office.

Wellington Boot Appeal - OPAL
Sun 18 Feb 2024Mrs Marriott has asked me to share the following:
We're really excited to be opening up the field after half-term to extend the children's play opportunities and the "power of playtime."
Due to limited wellie sizes, we may need further support!
If your child does have wellies and you're willing to leave them at school, they will have their own wellie peg! You can also leave any waterproof overalls which will be kept safe.
If you do have any old wellies or overalls, we would be very grateful for any donations!
Please don't hesitate to contact me if you need any help or have any questions!
