How do you fit work around 11+ age children during school holidays?

Genuine question. If you have year 6 & older children how do you work your job around the 6 week holiday? Clubs aren't as widely available for that age group. More specifically the days you go in the office.

2 weeks holiday.
1 days a week DH wfh (DC likely on screens!)
1 day a week I work 7-13, then 2 hours at night (flexi)- they sleep til 10, eat a packed lunch, couple of hours alone then we go ice skating/ trampolining/ swimming/ whatever.
The other 3 days are home alone, or at friends houses, or playing out, or going bowling or on a bike ride together. I may take a day or 2 extra leave, or I may not (depends if they have plans!)

Thank you for all the responses! Lots to think about as all new to me. Great to hear there are some clubs, I hadn't actually researched it yet..last minute.com lol. Hope you all manage to survive the holidays without too many melt downs or work dramas! Happy Holidays!
