  • Year 5 - Professor McGinty's Visit in June

    Fri 23 Feb 2024

    Dear Parents/Carers

     

    Professor McGinty Visit

     

    You will have received a letter this week about Professor McGinty's visit to immerse the children in Tudor Life in June. The original cost of this experience was £5.50 per child but we have been able to subsidise this by £4.50 so when the payment item appears on Parent Pay, it will only be for £1.

     

    Please can we ask you to make the contribution of £1 for the Professor McGinty visit by Wednesday 15th May 2024 as per the original letter.

     

    Kind regards,
