Dear Parents and Carers,

We are writing to update you regarding our upcoming Year 4 educational visit to the Verulamium Museum on Monday 15 June. At present, we are unable to cover the cost of the trip, including the museum's workshops and exploring the Roman ruins. Hillingdon's charging and remissions policy for schools states that:

If insufficient voluntary contributions are raised to fund a visit, or the school cannot fund it from some other source, then it must be cancelled.

If you are able to support the trip but have not yet paid the voluntary contribution of £19, then please do so via ParentPay by tomorrow. We will review the final funding total tomorrow afternoon to make a definitive decision on whether the visit can go ahead. Thank you for your understanding and continued support of our curriculum enrichment.

Dear Parents and Carers,

You will shortly be receiving by email the login and password details to the Y5 Rootd trip blog. Our blog is designed to capture the spirit of our Year 5 residential by sharing a snapshot of the brilliant activities the children are enjoying. Please keep in mind that the photographs are uploaded to showcase the experiences rather than to document or reassure on individual welfare. Rest assured, our dedicated staff team is entirely focused on the safety and well-being of every child throughout the trip. If any specific health or welfare matters arise regarding your child, we will contact you directly. We hope you enjoy following our trip updates and seeing the exciting challenges the children are tackling!
