Dear Parent/Carer
Year 1 Bolton Abbey
On Tuesday 6th June, as part of their science and geography work studying plants, Year 1 will be visiting Bolton Abbey. Pupils will be taking part in a Terrific Tree workshop and completing the Welly Walk in the afternoon.
Under the terms of the Education Reform Act 1988 the school is not allowed to make a charge for this activity, but we are permitted to ask for contributions and the governors have authorised us to do so. I am sure you will understand that we can not afford to pay for this visit from within the funds available to us so may I ask you, therefore, if you would be willing to make a voluntary contribution of £8.62. No child will be excluded if his or her parent does not make the contribution; however, if insufficient funds are received then, regrettably, the activity will not go ahead. The preferred payment is through ParentPay. When using this online payment system you are automatically consenting to your child participating in this activity.
The class will travel by coach and set off at 9:15am in the morning. They will return to school for the end of the school day.
The cook will provide a packed lunch for all children which will include a sandwich, vegetable sticks, homemade biscuit, cookie or shortbread. Please feel free to send your child with an extra drink and or snack. Please could we ask you to choose your child’s sandwich filling via the following link by Monday 22nd May.
