Permission

Permission is required for this trip. Please use Parentmail to give your permission for your child to attend / participate.

The trip has been thoroughly planned and carefully risk assessed by the trip leader, our Educational Visits Coordinator and by Miss Lally. A copy of the risk assessment is available upon request.

Voluntary Contributions

This trip is to enhance our curriculum and we are relying on parental contributions to enable to trip to take place. We would appreciate you paying a voluntary donation of £13.10 to cover the cost of this trip.

Please note, if insufficient voluntary contributions are received, regrettably, this visit may have to be cancelled. The total cost of the trip is divided equally by all children in the year group and the school budget cannot make up significant shortfalls in voluntary contributions.

Please pay this amount via our ParentMail online payment system here https://pmx.parentmail.co.uk/#core/login or log in to your Parentmail mobile app. Payment to be received by 17th March.

Lunch Arrangements:

Children will need a packed lunch for this trip. Hatton catering can provide a packed lunch for all children but these must be requested online using the SchoolGrid system by midnight on the previous Wednesday of the week it is required.

Parents in receipt of FSM will get these free of charge.

If your child already has a lunch option booked for the day of the trip this will be cancelled and you will need to rebook the ‘School Trip Packed Lunch’ option via the SchoolGrid system by midnight on the previous Wednesday of the week it is required.

Alternatively, if you would like to provide a packed lunch from home this must be in a disposable carrier bag with a maximum of 2 drinks (no glass bottles and no fizzy drinks), healthy snacks only please and no nuts due to allergies.

Yours sincerely,

Miss Bartholomew, Mrs Warren and the rest of the Year 4 Team
