Dear Parents

National School’s Trampoline Championships

Sunday 18th January 2015

Congratulations to the girls who have qualified for the Southern Zonal Trampoline Finals on Sunday 18 January 2015 at the White House Tennis and Leisure Centre, Audlett Drive, Abingdon, Oxfordshire, OX14 3PJ.

Those students who wish to travel on the minibus from school should be at Oaklands for 8.00am, if you arrive before I do the gates will be locked and you will have to wait in the entrance until I arrive with the key. We should be back at Oaklands at about 6.45pm.

The competition runs from 10.00am to 5.00pm but your child will only be involved for a short part of that time. Students who travel independently can collect a copy of the timetable and negotiate the time period during which they need to attend. Girls will compete in leotards, which will be provided, but all students will need plain white ankle /trainer socks and their hair should be neatly tied back. NO jewellery of any sort is to be worn in competition. A t-shirt and shorts may be worn for warm up.

The cost of the trip is £5.00. There are a number of spare places in the minibus so any parent who wishes to join us for the day is welcome, at a cost of £3.00. The leisure Centre has a swimming pool and there may be opportunity for the students to swim once their age group is completed, entry costs about £3.00 (adults £4.20). There will also be refreshments available in the cafeteria, although students are encouraged to bring sufficient supplies of food and drink to see them through.

As this trip is deemed to be an enhancement to the curriculum, the school normally is unable to offer financial assistance and therefore the full cost of the activity must be borne by yourselves. Payments and accompanying paperwork must be handed in on or before the deadline date outlined and late payments will jeopardise your child’s place on the trip/activity. Should your child withdraw from the activity, please be aware that deposits are non-refundable and any further payments can only be refunded if the place can be filled by another student on a waiting list, or if the withdrawal is for an insurable reason. If there are significant changes to the cost of the trip, these may have to be passed on to the student. Be assured that we will try to keep such costs to a minimum.

It is the parents/guardians responsibility to update the school should there be any changes to the medical information about their child. Please communicate these to Mrs Brettell, Business Support Team Leader.

Please complete the return consent form and monies to the Finance Office.

Yours faithfully

Mrs J Payne

Trampoline Coach
