We are asking for a voluntary contribution to cover the cost
of the activities and the cost for each individual activity is
shown on the relevant page. We are asking for an initial
deposit of £15.00 to secure your daughter’s choices and will
request a further payment when choices have been received.
Whilst non-payment may not necessarily preclude your child
from taking part, if sufficient funds are not forthcoming then
the trip may have to be cancelled. If you are in receipt of
government benefit or assistance such as Income Support and
would like to discuss the school’s possible ability to offer you
financial help with the trip, then please do not hesitate to
contact the Finance Department at school.
Students who do not participate will stay in school doing
activities in another year group or complete alternative
activities in the Library.
While every effort will be made to allocate student choices,
where there is a limit on numbers a random selection will be
used.

While the students are out of school they will be subject to supervision by a reasonable number of
school staff and adult helpers. However, a well behaved group of students means that a visit can be
enjoyed by all and will enhance the students’ educational experience. A well behaved group is also a
safe group.
We expect the students to abide by the normal rules of the school at all times.
Students are expected to obey supervising adults at all times.
Students should recognise that this is a visit not a holiday. They will be expected to participate fully in all aspects of the visit, except where an activity is specifically classed as optional.

On coaches and ferries, students must abide the safety regulations. On coaches seat belts must be worn at all times.
