Dear Parent/Carer,

Thank you for paying the £80 deposit to secure your child’s place on the King’s Park Secondary ski trip.

This is a reminder that the next payment milestone is due on 27th February. The amount due is £160, which will bring the total paid to £240. All payments should be made via ParentPay
Please ensure you are following the payment schedule issued in the initial letter, rather than the instalment breakdown shown on ParentPay. The ParentPay system was limited to six instalments; however, we intentionally structured the trip payments into smaller stages to help families spread the cost.

If you wish to pay off the trip more quickly than the scheduled milestones, you are very welcome to do so.

If you are unsure of the agreed payment schedule, it can be viewed on the Ski Trip website.

If you are unable to meet this milestone, please contact me directly at gw15JackDavid@glow.sch.uk to let me know when you will be able to make the payment.

Thank you for your continued support.

Kind regards,
David Jack

Thank you to all the pupils who attended the Ski Trip 2026 launch event. It was fantastic to see such a strong turnout, with over 50 pupils in attendance, and there was a real buzz of excitement throughout the session. The enthusiasm shown for the trip was brilliant and reflects just how much interest there is in what promises to be an unforgettable experience.

At the launch event, pupils were issued with an information letter and an initial expression of interest slip. Families who would like their child to be considered for a place on the trip should ensure that the return slip is signed by a parent/carer and returned to Mr Jack, either directly or via the school office, no later than Friday 23rd January.

A reminder that S1 pupils who sign up for the Italy trip will not be eligible for the Holland trip which is being launched in August/September by Ms McTaggart.

Once all expressions of interest have been collected, places on the trip will be allocated at random, while also ensuring an appropriate balance across year groups and gender. A reserve list will also be created.

Once the lists have been published, pupils can confirm their place on the trip by paying the £80 deposit. Deposits will be collected via ParentPay, with the initial payment due by Friday 13th February. Should any pupils withdraw at this stage, places will then be offered to pupils on the reserve list.

Please note that a place on the trip is not secured until the deposit has been received.

Families are encouraged to explore this website to find out more about the trip, including information from previous years. If you have any further questions, please feel free to contact me via the Contacts page.
