Local friends!!

We are running our fantastic 3 day courses for 10-16 year olds who live in East Sussex and who qualify for free school meals (they dont have to actually receive them, just qualify)

the 3 courses are the same, so dont book for more than one week!

There is a swanky booking in website now to make things easier. Please share with anyone you know who may enjoy this and fulfils the criteria

we have 3 places left on our easter Holiday Food and Activity days at Glottenham.
These follow on from the very successful sessions we ran for ESCC during the Summer and Christmas holidays - a mix of Forest school and experimental archaeology
The places are fully funded for 11-16 year olds living in East Sussex who qualify for free school meals - they dont need to actually receive the meals, but if they quaify they will be funded. Im afraid at the moment we already hold a long waiting list of paid/other qualifying children, but the council funding is specific on this and we need to fill a very high percentage with FSM kids
The courses will take place at Glottenham Farm in Robertsbridge for 3 consecutive days from Tuesday 12th April, 10.30 - 3.30pm with a filling hot healthy lunch included
