Dear Parents/Carers

Re: Key Stage 5: Residential visit to YHA Centre – Tuesday 6 – Thursday 8 February 2018

I am pleased to inform you that Key Stage 5 has the opportunity to attend a residential trip at the YHA Centre in Cheddar which is located in Somerset. The residential will take place from Tuesday 6 February 2018. The cost of this trip will be £40 as we have been lucky enough to receive by a grant from the Happy Days children’s charity to fund this visit.

This is a fantastic opportunity for you son/daughter to experience independent living with some of their peers in a setting blessed with beautiful scenery. The cost of the residential includes accommodation in purpose-built dormitories, transport to and from the venue, meals and travel insurance.

If your son/daughter would like to participate in the residential trip please complete the slip attached and return to school with the deposit by Friday 15 December 2017. Places will be issued on first come, first served basis. We are requesting a non-refundable deposit of £20 which is required from all pupils, to reserve a space.

To help you spread the remaining cost of the residential, staged payments can be offered of two payments of £10, with total balance being due by Monday 15 January 2018.

Please contact me at the school if you require any further information about the residential at this stage.

*If sufficient funds are not received then we may have to cancel this trip.

Yours Sincerely

Claire Amos

Key Stage 5 Co-ordinator
