Holiday Activities and Food Programme (HAF)
HAF 2025 is back this year!
What is the HAF programme? – Education and Families (devon.gov.uk)
At Apple Tree Farm, the HAF provision involves groups of 10 children, with SEND, working together in the day-to-day activities with our animals and environment.
Alongside this, we may commission external providers of activities or plan trips and outings with the children.
The farm’s term time activities and general expertise lie with supporting children with SEND. Our HAF offering is to prioritise children who are in receipt of benefits-related free school meals, PLUS have a SEND need.
Although the HAF Programme runs at Easter, Summer, and Winter, we are only running the Summer programme this year. We will offer 8 days of provision throughout the Summer Holidays.
We are delighted to be running the HAF Programme again this Summer for children with SEND. For more information and to make your booking, see below.
The Holiday Activities and Food Programme (HAF) has been expanded to cover all of England, and the programme has run at Apple Tree Farm for many years.
This holiday provision is for school-aged children from reception to year 11 (inclusive) who receive benefits-related free school meals.
Benefits-related free school meals (FSM) are available to pupils if their parents are in receipt of one of the qualifying benefits. To check if your child is eligible to apply for the programme, please visit this page Holiday Activities and Food (HAF) programme – Education and Families (devon.gov.uk) for more information.
