Dear Parents and Carers,
We are very excited to announce that we have sourced an alternative slightly cheaper residential option for October 24 (thank you to Mrs Hollis who made it her mission to do so) This will be a two night residential trip at the Kingswood Centre, Peak District Outdoor Centre, in Yorkshire. We are very fortunate to have secured a provisional booking as it is an extremely popular venue with school groups.
For parents who are new to Kingswood, they are a leading residential activity centre provider, responsible for delivering safe and rewarding educational programmes to over 170,000 children every year. By combining many National Curriculum-linked modules with thrilling outdoor and indoor adventure activities, this trip is sure to provide your child with a wealth of new experiences outside of the classroom while developing key learning outcomes.
Residential courses organised by the school are, of course, an optional but invaluable part of the National Curriculum. Pupils benefit hugely from the experience, both educationally and socially and I feel certain that the programme which we have chosen this year will prove to be both enjoyable and very worthwhile.
We would like to offer this opportunity to a group of 35 pupils from the present Year 4 and 5. The trip will take place from 16th October – 18th October 2024. The cost of the visit will be approximately £200 - £230 (dependant on how many children attend) this includes return travel by coach, full board, accommodation and a full programme of activities. To confirm our booking, an initial non-refundable deposit of £50 will be required by Friday 31st May 24.
We will be arranging a parent’s evening closer to the trip to present to you in more detail the exciting range of activities available at our destination of choice. In the meantime if you wish to find out more about the ethos of Kingswood, their programmes and safety information, please visit www.kingswood.co.uk.
Yours sincerely
Mrs Fellows - Headteacher
