To ask the Secretary of State for Culture, Media and Sport if she will list the (a) summer schools and (b) performance camps which will be based in the London borough of Harrow over the next 12 months. [109322]

There is a wide variety range of summer school and performance camp activity planned for the London borough of Harrow in the next year.Sport England's Active Sports Programme will deliver activities across an increasing range of sports in the area. More details on these are set out in the table.Arts Council England will also be funding summer school activity in the Borough. This will include a four-week summer school at Arts Culture, Harrow, providing a wide range of arts and crafts sessions for pre-school children to 16-year olds. The organisation is also running two weeks of participatory musical theatre courses for children of all ages and Tomorrow's Warriors, a local information, co-ordination and advisory resource centre for promoters, musicians, and arts organisations, which is currently developing plans for a series of 'jam' sessions for local young people over the summer.Harrow will also be covered by the new holiday activities programme jointly developed by DCMS and others across Government. Building on the success of last year's summer activities schemes, the new programme will, through a 'single pot', provide funding for positive activities for children and young people aged 8–19 during all school holiday periods. While the scheme is due to go live in the Whitsun break, delivery plans for this are still in development, so it is not possible to say at this stage what provision there will be in Harrow.
