Bishop Challoner Catholic College Summer Health and Food Programme
Dear Parent/Carer,
Bishop Challoner Catholic College will be hosting a summer Health and Food (HAF) programme for all Year 7 students during the summer holidays. Due to COVID restrictions students have had limited opportunities over the past 18 months with many having missed out on numerous sporting, enriching and educational activities. The HAF summer programme will provide an invaluable opportunity for all Yr7 students to experience a fun week through a range exciting activities, sport and food.
The main focus of the programme is to open up our facilities during the school holidays to provide enrichment activities. Each student will receive five days of engaging activities with no cost to parents/carers for their son/daughter to attend the programme as it is fully funded by the Department of Education.
Your son/daughter will take part in a wide range of activities and will include cooking, sport, dance, computing/drones, drama and music. Pupils will experience day trips to the Snow Dome for ice skating and tobogganing, Birmingham City Centre for Bowling, Golf and cinema, and will also spend a day at Drayton Manor. All school based activities will be delivered by staff and school trips will be supervised by staff from Bishop Challoner Catholic College.
The summer school will be divided into two identical one week progammes with one hundred pupils accommodated on each week (Week 1: Monday 9th August – Friday 13th August / Week 2: Monday 16th August – Friday 20th August). Each day will follow a three period school day. Registration would take place each morning between 830-900am and pupils would be dismissed at 3.10pm each day. There will be sporting activities for the students to take part in everyday during lunch time. Students will receive an activity timetable once they have been registered. A typical week could look like the example below:

We ask that if you are interested in registering your son/daughter to take part in the programme then please use the following link https://forms.gle/k6nSkCfCMke9xEKc8 to sign up before Thursday 15th July. We would ask parents / carers to select the preferred week for their son / daughter, and to confirm if they will be collected each day or can make their own way home once dismissed.
We will provide lunch (sandwich, snack and drink) each day for all students free of charge.
We very much hope you will take this opportunity up to register your son/daughter to take part in the summer programme. If you require further information please contact Miss Crump at the school reception or by emailing l.crump@bishopchalloner.bham.sch.uk
Kind Regards
