The trip will be on Tuesday 4thApril;we will leave school at 9:30am and plan to return at approximately 12:30pm. We will be travelling by coach.

We are requesting a voluntary contribution of £7 to cover the cost of this visit which is made up as follows: handling session £4 and transport £3 (the school is subsidizing the transport cost). We would be grateful if you would use Parentpay to pay for this trip. Please ensure that your contribution is either paid on Parentpay (but please send the permission slip in to us) or is given to the school office along with the permission slip below by Friday 24th March.If there is any difficulty in meeting this cost of travel please do not hesitate to speak with Mr Whitfield.

The school packed lunch consists of a cheese sandwich, carrot sticks, apple, fruit shortbread and a juice cuplet. If your child requires a school packed lunch please indicate this on the return slipand return your form at least 7 days before the trip.

Children will be required to wear uniform tops i.e. white polo top/ shirt and school uniform jumper / sweatshirt/cardigan to help with identification.
