Kingswood Residential Trip
Years 5 and 6 Kingswood Residential Trip
Wednesday 28th – Friday 30th June 2017
We are again looking at visiting the Kingswood Peak Venture site which is based in South Yorkshire near Penistone. We feel that the children benefit a great deal from the activities offered which include both indoor and outdoor events to suit everyone. The residential visit will be offered to Year 5 and 6 pupils and is scheduled to take place Wednesday 28th June – Friday 30th June 2017.
The cost for the residential is not final at the moment but should be about £145.00 after being heavily subsidised by the school funds.
In order that we can fully confirm our booking with Kingswood with time for preparation, we require you to secure your child’s place by sending in a £40.00 deposit by the 21st October 2016. (The remainder may be paid by instalments using the paying in book provided upon receipt of your deposit).
Your urgent attention to this matter would be appreciated.
Please be aware that places are limited and can only be secured with a deposit.
We have no facility this year to increase places on this visit.
Yours sincerely,
Mrs J Robinson
School Business Manager
