Back to School, Back to Balance: Your Autumn Term at Wickers Gymnastics

New term, new leotard, same child cartwheeling through the kitchen.

September’s creeping closer, and you know what that means – the school shoes are out, the lunchboxes are somewhere, and you’re Googling “quick healthy packed lunch ideas” (again).

But don’t worry – we’ve got your extracurriculars covered. Gymnastics is back in full swing for the Autumn Term at Wickers, and we’re ready to welcome all our flippers, tumblers, and tiny twisters with open arms.

🗓️ Term Dates: Save These!

We know it’s a lot to juggle, so here are the dates you actually need:

📅 Autumn Term:

Monday 18th August – Saturday 20th December 2025

❌ We are CLOSED: Sunday 3rd August – Sunday 17th August 2025

❌ We are CLOSED for Christmas: Sunday 21st December – Sunday 5th January 2026

✅ We’re OPEN during all Half Term breaks

❌ We are CLOSED on Bank Holidays

So yes – if you’re around during October half term and need to keep the kids moving (and off the tablet), gymnastics is ON!

🎯 Why Gymnastics Is the Perfect Back-to-School Boost

School routines can be a bit of a shock to the system after a free-range summer. But gymnastics helps children:

✔️ Burn off energy after school

✔️ Improve focus, balance and coordination

✔️ Build confidence and resilience

✔️ Feel part of something positive and supportive

It’s movement, structure, and social fun — all rolled into one foam-filled package.
