The school has residential trips in Y4, Y5 & Y6.
The Y4 two night trip to Juniper Hall in Dorking we are aiming to continue and are not surveying about that.
Currently Y5 goes to the Isle of Wight for 4 nights -costing around £400 and Y6 go to PGL Hindhead for 4 nights.
We are surveying over the rising costs for the Year 6 PGL trip-currently £650 for the 4 night trip to Hindhead.
Informal conversations with children and parents over recent years suggest that children prefer the Y5 trip.
We want to keep both residential trips in Year 5 and Year 6, but reduce costs.
Our favoured option is to move the Isle of Wight trip to Year 6 and find a 2 or 3 night more local option for Y5 with a similar style to PGL-adventure activities, which is not what we happens on the Isle of Wight.
Please note that we currently can't go to PGL for 2 or 3 nights-it is not possible.
The Y6 trip to PGL will go ahead in 2025 regardless.
