SCHOOL TRIPS/VISITS

We have taken the opportunity to review the experiences that we are offering the children. We have previously spread the cost of the year’s trips and visits over the 6 terms and found that we didn’t receive enough money across the year to make it a viable option. Therefore, we have decided that we will now ask for contributions on a trip/visit by trip/visit basis

​​

We have sent letters home this week with details of trips/visits for all the year groups. They are live on ParentPay now and we ask that make as much contribution as you are able to avoid disappointing the children. Please return your permission slips ASAP.

Tuesday 21 January - EYFS/Yr1 - Jonathan's Jungle in School

​​​SWIMMING - MALLARD

We have organised swimming sessions for Mallard Class, starting on Monday 18 November.  There has been a change to the original plan to split the class, they will now all be going together. 

 

The lessons will take place on Monday afternoons between 1.30 pm and 2.30 pm and run for 9 weeks, with the last lesson on Monday, 10 February 2025.

 

We were originally asking for contributions of £3 per session (£15 for the 5 weeks) towards the cost of the swimming for your child, this is live on ParentPay. this cost has not changed even though the children will be attending lessons for 9 weeks.  Please contribute what you can to help with the costs.
