How to get onto a skiing programme for kids in the UK?

We are returning to the UK after a few years in Canada. Our kids took into skiing and have developed some advanced skills. Our 9yr old went into a racing programme and did really well. He has got some good potential and loves the sport.
What are our options beside setting off on a week ski holiday? How do I find a programme that keeps them in regular training in winter? They used to ski weekly and one week a year is not enough to maintain good skills easpecialy if they wanted to ski competitively.
Any ideas or anyone know of a ski school in England? Maybe they take them to Scotland or Europe, not sure..
Thanks

Contact Ski Club of Great Britain or BASI (British Association of Snowsports Instructors), they can point you in the right direction. Off the top of my head the Hemel Hempsted Snow Centre have a racing club, sure other indoor facilities have similar things.

Most artificial ski slopes in UK have a youth club and race training. One of dd's former classmates has attended camps in the Alps during the season and competed at national level.
