Booking Vacation Care and Pupil Free Days
Permission Forms
All excursions require a permission form to be completed. These will be emailed out at the start of the vacation care program.
Please note:
Excursions LEAVE ON TIME, if you are late your child/children may miss out and you will still need to pay excursion fees as per our policy.
Cancellation Policy
Any requests to cancel bookings require seven days written notice, as we are required to confirm numbers with vendors and assist with staffing arrangements. All cancellations must be made through the Xplor app. If you are outside the cancellation window, you will be charged full fees and an absence will be marked.
Absent days
If your child is absent during the vacation care period, the same absence policy as term time applies. You will need to mark your child absent via the Xplor app. This is available to download via your app store.
