HOLIDAY CLUBS
We were thrilled to be back running our Summer clubs in Sydenham and had an amazing 6 sold out weeks! Thank you to everyone who joined and I hope the children enjoyed watching their awesome film they made at the end of the week.
Bookings for our Christmas Club are now open! Early booking advised.

"A huge thank you to you and your fabulous team for managing to change the format of Gems due to COVID guidelines and still make it the best week of the holidays so far! We can’t wait to watch the film!" - Summer 2020
MONDAY 15 - FRIDAY 19 FEBRUARY
9.00 - 3.30
Two zooms per day for fun interaction, games and rehearsals (Third optional zoom)
Two awesome 'at home' tasks set per day
All children will receive a copy of the film they have created
Children do not need to attend all five days but we would prefer three minumum to ensure they feature in the film.
IN PERSON CLUBS - KEY POINTS
- If the club is full, please email Emma to be put on the waiting list as we do get cancellations.
- Strictly 15 children per group so we do advise booking early to avoid disappointment.
- Please note we will not be able to offer wrap around care at Sydenham High School but we can at Beecroft Primary until 5.00.
- There will be staggered drop off and collection times between 8.30 and 9.00 and 3.00 and 3.30
- Parents will not be allowed onto the school premises all week. We will film the performance and rehearsals and share it so all children finish the week with their own film! We will require parents to consent to their child being filmed.
- All children and staff will follow strict COVID procedures.
- We understand Singing may be an added risk of infection so this activity will be minimised and performed with extra social distancing. Our scripts will be adapted to include one song maximum and we have other ideas such as pre-recording songs and offering solos instead of group singing. We have also chosen some Plays which involve no singing.
- Please read the COVID-19 Policy for more information. All parents will need to fill in a Household Health Questionnaire before attending.
We do encourage booking early. Unfortunately we do not take Childcare Vouchers currently but we hope to in 2021.

“My daughter has been to several different clubs over the last two years but I have to say I have never seen her this animated and engaged in a club. Every morning she was ready to go to the club and every evening she was practicing her songs and looking forward to Friday’s performance so thank you so much for an excellent holiday club which truly engage the children.”
