Minehead Middle School has partnered with Minehead Town Council to deliver summer activities for local children.
It comes a year after a coach carrying pupils and staff from the school crashed near Wheddon Cross, resulting in the death of Oliver Price, 10, while 21 other people were taken to hospital.
As part of the initiative, pupils from the school will be entitled to vouchers and three free sessions at the Minehead Eye and one free entry to Butlin’s.
Laura Mackie, headteacher of Minehead Middle School, said: “We are incredibly pleased to be working alongside Minehead Town Council, Butlin's Minehead and The Minehead Eye to provide these opportunities for our children.
“Following the tragic events of last summer, it is important that we continue to support our young people by creating positive experiences and lasting memories.
