The main part of the programme will be sessions lasting four hours, for four days of the week, for four weeks of the summer holiday and one week of the Christmas holiday.
Sessions will include a healthy meal and nutritional information for each child/young person as well as sports, games, arts, crafts, environmental themes, dance & performing arts, and food activities.
Invitations will go out in May to Free School Meal eligible families explaining how they can register their children and young people on the ‘School’s Out’ web app for the funded clubs and activities.
There will also be a separate registration process, outlined in the invitation, for families who may be unable to book places digitally.

Hi Julie,
At the bottom of the article, there are a couple of links to find out more about the schemes. They should provide you with details on how to register. I would also highly recommend emailing them directly at hello@kidzcentral.co.uk.
Thanks!
