Dear Parent/Carer,
Kingswood Cluster Camp 17th-20th April 2018
With our trip to Kingswood next week, here are some final reminders.
- All children should arrive at school on Tuesday 17th April 2018 at the normal time and can leave their luggage in the gym hall. Children should go to their class/playground as normal, then staff will register them. Our bus is due to collect us at approximately 9.30am. Pupils will return on Friday 20th April 2018 at approximately 1.30pm. Please ensure that your child is collected from school by an adult at this time. If our arrival time changes significantly we will communicate this via group call.
- If your child requires medication, please hand in any medicines to the office during the course of this week. Medicines should be in a bag and clearly labelled with pupil name, medication name, dosage and frequency and whether your child can self-administer. If you are unable to hand in in medication in advance, please hand in any further medication to a member of staff in the gym hall on the morning of departure. All medication will require you to complete a permission to administer medication form, so please advise whether you need this. Completing the paperwork for medication in the morning takes up time and can contribute to us being unable to depart on time, so please hand this in advance wherever possible.
- Child should have one case/ bag that they can carry and a backpack. They should also remember a packed lunch for Tuesday in their back pack.
- Please refer to the suggested clothing list when packing. This was issued during the last week of term. Please let us know if you need another copy of this. Please also include a black bag to put dirty/wet clothes in.
- We ask that pupils only bring £5 pocket money, in £1 coins to be handed into school during this week. In the interests of safety and fairness we ask that you do not send any additional money. Kingswood sells some snacks and some small souvenirs. Please do not pack any valuables, mobile phones or electronic items.
- Please ensure that you have completed our code of conduct. We cannot allow pupils who have not completed the code of conduct to attend this residential.
- Finally, if your child has any special dietary requirements that you have not already made the school aware of, please let their class teacher know as soon as possible.
Staff and pupils are all very excited about the residential and we hope that these final reminders prove helpful. If you have any further questions or need any more info, please do not hesitate to contact the school.
Yours faithfully
Morag Dickie
Acting Principal Teacher
