Dear Parents/Carers   

As part of our Year 6 World Studies topic next year,  we are going to be going on a wonderful trip to Holdenby House. The trip will take place on Friday 15th January 2027 and will cost £22 per child which can be paid via Parent Pay. This can be paid in instalments or all at once and must be paid by 16th December 2026. During the day, the children will experience what life was like for WW2 evacuees while taking part in many activities. This is a really great trip, and we know the children will have an excellent day. 

We kindly ask that on the day the children come to school dressed as WW2 evacuees. There is no need to purchase an outfit unless you would like to. School uniform can be worn as an outfit if your child would prefer. We ask that children also wear a waterproof coat as part of the day will be outdoors.

If you can volunteer to help at the trip, we would be very grateful. Please indicate this on the form and we will be in touch. If we have more parent volunteers than we are able to take, we will draw names out of the hat.

Children will be required to bring a packed lunch and snack with them including plenty to drink for the day. If your child has free school meals, we will provide a packed lunch.

Children should arrive early to school between 8.20 and 8.30am for a prompt 8.45am departure and will return to school at 3pm for a normal end of the day routine, if your child is normally a walker they will be allowed to walk home unless we are advised of alternate arrangements by yourselves. If for any reason we are delayed on our return, we will be sure to update you with our expected ETA.

Please complete this forms link to give permission for your child to attend.
