ALTR X Easter Holiday Programme

ALTR X HOLIDAY SCHEME

 

The ALTR Group prioritises understanding the whole person and uses this specialist knowledge, skill and understanding to inform accessible and inclusive holiday courses for young people.

 

ALTR X is aimed at pupils with additional needs age 11 to 18, who may be too anxious to access mainstream holiday clubs, need a greater level of understanding in relation to their needs and would benefit from an environment that is SEND aware and friendly.

ALTR X is a fun and exciting opportunity for young people to try new activities and engage with like-minded peers, in a in a low demand, safe space supported by specialist staff, who are adept in modifying tasks to make them accessible and to reduce anxiety.

Each session will include a range of activities that are carefully planned to meet the interests of the young people. The schedule of activities will vary throughout the day and the young people can select what they would like to engage with or simply choose to chill out on a sofa with their favourite book!

Activities might include:

  • Arts and crafts
  • Games and Gaming
  • Music
  • Drama
  • Film making and watching.
  • Photography
  • Problem solving games.
  • Sports
  • Cooking
  • Reading
  • Dog walking
  • Relaxation
  • Picnics

MEETING NEED

Assessment is undertaken by a qualified SENCO to ensure we can meet needs and make transition opportunities available, should they be beneficial, prior to any young person starting.

Notes

We are very excited to announce the arrival of two new clubs for 11-19yr olds, taking place over the Easter break.

ALTR Create – Tues. 2nd – Fri. 5th April, 9am – 3pm - A week of inspiration and creation, culminating in a show case of pupils’ work, which parents/carers are welcome to attend. (Due to the nature of this week’s activities, bookings must include all 4 days.)

ALTR X – Tues. 9th – Fri. 12th April, 9am – 3pm - A fun and relaxing, activities based, social group. (Bookings for the whole week preferred, but single days will be considered, if numbers allow.)

Many parents have shared with us the struggles faced in finding holiday care support that meets the needs of the young people in their lives with neurodivergence. Young people have also shared with us how difficult they find the holiday periods, that they want to build friendships and that keeping in a routine of leaving the house makes returning to college or school less daunting. We hope that access to the holiday clubs will support them with this.

Our holiday clubs are delivered in a SEND and sensory friendly environment that your young person may already be familiar with. If required, we can arrange a transition meeting prior to any young person starting and take time to ensure that the activities we will be delivering will meet the needs of the young people taking part.

BOOK NOW – spaces are limited! Any ALTR NATIVES (young people already accessing an ALTR RISE Service) will receive 20% discount if booked by 14th February 2024.
