Students will be transported by minibus and are required to wear comfortable, appropriate clothing. They must bring a packed lunch, including a bottle of water. Students with any medical conditions must carry the necessary medication. While students may bring their mobile phones, they do so at their own risk. In the event of a delayed return, the mobile phone will allow your child to contact you directly. Students can also bring spending money with them if they wish.
The cost for this trip is £27. This payment is a voluntary contribution to the overall cost of the fieldtrip. Without coverage of costs, the trip may not proceed.
There are only 15 places available on this trip. Each place will be allocated on a first come first served basis by registering through Schoolcomms, which will go live on Wednesday 8th January at 7:30am. If you would like your child to take up this opportunity then please consent and pay the fee of £27 by Friday 10th January.
If due to personal circumstances you need an extended period of time to pay the deposit then please get in touch with me to discuss in confidence at your earliest convenience. This consent includes your permission for photographs to be taken of your child. If you object to your child being captured in the photographs please contact me on 0121 444 4161.
If you are unsuccessful in securing a place for your child then please contact Mrs Durkin in the Pastoral Office to request that your child is placed on a reserve list for the named trip. If and when a place becomes available you will be contacted directly.
