There will also be a special session on examination success at A level Physics.

We will leave Rickmansworth School at 9.00 a.m. and take the Underground to the event, returning to Rickmansworth Underground Station where students can be collected around 5.00 p.m. Students should bring drinks and a packed lunch with them. The cost of the trip including transport is £34.00.

If you wish your son/daughter to attend this event, please complete the slip overleaf and return it to Mr K Watson by Monday 7 November. Payment should also be made by this date.

I acknowledge the need for my son/daughter to behave responsibly and agree to the School’s procedures in this respect. Although the staff of the School escorting the party will exercise due care and attention they cannot necessarily be held responsible for any loss, damage or injury which may befall my child named above during or out of the journey and visit.

I understand that upon return to School my child will no longer be under the authority of the School and my child is aware of the arrangements for getting home.
