A HAMPSHIRE school has appointed a new holiday camp provider after the previous service was suspended by education watchdogs.
Ofsted carried out an inspection at Boundary Oak School, Fareham, following three separate incidents in which children at the camp were injured.
Now Fit For Sport has been replaced by Foundation Play Fareham & Portsmouth.

The owner and managing director, James Woffindin, was Fit For Sport's settings manager at the school until 2021, when he joined Foundation Sports & Play in Dorset. He later became the first franchisee of Foundation Play.
He said: "Due to my history with Boundary Oak they got in contact with me when Fit For Sport was shut down.
"Foundation Play Fareham & Portsmouth has since taken over as Boundary Oak's new holiday club provider and we couldn't be happier about it.
"Foundation Play offers affordable, Ofsted-registered childcare to parents of children aged 4-11 across the south.
"Children have the opportunity to take part in a range of arts and crafts. Seeing the parents' faces at the end of the day when they see what their little ones have created is always a pleasure.
"There are also multiple sports available for the children to take part in.
"All our staff follow the three E's - encouragement, engagement and enthusiasm. Our clubs are planned ahead of each holiday so that attendees experience the best service possible."
The Fit For Sport camp at Boundary Oak was temporarily closed in August following an Ofsted inspection.
It was carried out after one child damaged a tooth, another sustained a fractured wrist and a third youngster was taken to A&E, also with a fracture.
In a statement Fit For Sport said: "We are highly disappointed with the inspection result and are working with the relevant parties to put immediate action plans in place."
But Fit For Sport has parted company with the school, despite Ofsted ruling that the camp could reopen.
A spokesperson said: "Having actioned several robust measures, and worked with the relevant parties to facilitate an approved reopening, both the school and Fit For Sport have decided to take the operation in a different direction.
"We have supported Boundary Oak to enable a smooth transition ahead of the October half term."
