Outward Bound, Aberdovey 2018

Dear families

I hope you have had a restful Summer. We are all looking forward to visiting Aberdovey, Outward Bound Centre next week and your sons and daughters starting their adventure at XP.

Here are some important reminders of a number of arrangements and points of information for the 28th August.

As discussed in our Y6 parental transition meetings, the following points are therefore important for you to note:

• Students need to be at the school for 7.00am on Tuesday the 28th August as we need to depart at 7.30am, prompt;
• A £10 refundable deposit is required from every student for room and kit insurance at the centre. If you have not already given this to the school, could you please secure this in an envelope with your son’s/daughter’s name and pass this onto me on the morning of the 28th;
• Students are allowed to take mobile phones but once on the coach they will be asked to turn them off. Mobile phone reception at the centre is very poor, but there will be a 30 minute period of time after tea should students want to contact home signal strength permitting.
• We will be stopping at Chester Services for a comfort break, so students should bring a pack up lunch to eat there. We ask that students do not bring sweets, milkshakes or sugary drinks for the journey please.
• If you need to phone the Centre for any reason the number is 01654 767464;
• We will arrive back in Doncaster on Friday 31st August at approximately 6.30pm but we will keep you updated of any delays/updates via our website; www.xpschool.org;
• School will start at 8.30am on Monday 3rd September.

We look forward to seeing you on the 28th August!

Best wishes and enjoy the rest of your holiday.

Yours sincerely,

Andy Sprakes

Executive Principal
