Dear Parents and Carers

The Government recently announced that residential educational visits would not be able to take place until a further review around Easter time.  As our children's Kingswood visit falls within this period our children will unfortunately not be able to enjoy this valuable week away.  I have however arranged their holiday to now take place on Sunday 16th May and we will return on Friday 21st May 2021.  I am pleased as it is likely that the weather may well be warm and sunny and as a result of this the cost during these peak times is considerably more.  Kingswood have informed me that the cost will remain the same as was agreed with me and this will give more time for anyone to pay.  Please will you contact Mrs Greenwood if you have not already set up your parentmail pay account. 

I am acutely aware that this is a difficult time for many of us and I would be happy to either speak to you or see you in my office when we return in the Spring if there are any personal issues that I can help with. 

I know from my own child and her friends the positive impact that being away had on them and they still talk about their wonderful week of freedom and I do hope that your child will enjoy the same opportunity.

Yours sincerely

Mr MacAreavy - Headteacher
