Children will need to bring a pencil case, water/snack and lunch (morning workshops only).
Children are required to bring a packed lunch from home to any of our morning holiday workshops. Lunch is not provided by Yellowbird.
We do not ask for anything beforehand. We ask that children attending our Exam Prep based workshops are fluent in English reading and writing and are of a good level for their current year group.
Our workshops vary from 3-5 days depending on venue availability and bank holidays. We try wherever possible to run for 5 days, however, some of our dates are 3 and 4 day weeks. Our Sunday Exam Prep course runs in terms and variers from 5-11 weeks depending on the term.
