Health and Safety

• By accessing the Kingswood website you
  can read their full risk assessment.
  www.kingswood.co.uk
• Kingswood has fully trained staff and is
  within an enclosed area.
• There is first aid available at all times on
  site and a number of hospitals less than
  30 minutes away.

Behaviour
• We expect good behaviour throughout
  the residential trip as we do during the
  normal school week. Any child who
  breaks Kingswood’s rules, particularly
  those concerned with safety, may miss
  further activities or have their parents
  asked to come and collect them.
• Any child who does not behave well in
  school can at any time be withdrawn
  from the trip.

Staffing

• The number of staff going with the children
  depends on the amount of children on the
  trip. 30 children would require 3 members
  of staff, 40 children – 4 staff and so on.

Cost and Payment Arrangements
• The cost for the trip will be £363
• Payments can be made in a variety of ways including
  through the Joinos System or with cash payments
  and a payment book through the school office.
• At the end of the day tomorrow each child in Years 4
  and 5 will take away a letter with a suggested
  payment schedule, including a date for the initial
  deposit to confirm your place and a layout of
  payments over the next 14 months.
• The letter provides all relevant further information
  and will also include information for Pupil Premium
  children
• Siblings: Kingswood offer 50% off for a second
  child. So if you have two children attending the trip
  you will pay the full cost for one child and half the
  cost for a second child.

Cancellation

• The initial deposit of £60 will be non-
  returnable
• If you decide to cancel after making a
  payment you will lose a % of the total paid.
• The % you lose increases as the time
  passes.
• This is all dictated by Kingswood and not
  ourselves.

What are the benefits?
• Motivation, exhilaration and challenge.
• Develop teamwork and increase self-confidence.
• Sense of personal achievement.
• Promotes independence.
• Great opportunity to enjoy activities the children
  may not have had the chance to experience
  before.
• One whole week of peace and quiet for parents
  and usually the weekend too.
• Children working hard to please parents so they
  let the children go on the trip.

Team games help to
build communication
and cooperation
skills.

Jacob’s Ladder

Daily room inspections help to keep the children's
belongings in order. There are prizes for the best kept
dorms.

They even have ice cream
there!!

The Teachers work really had
to make sure everyone has a
fantastic time…

They never stop...

Alert and ready for action at all
        times, almost!

The next step
• All children in Years 4 and 5 will tomorrow be
  receiving a letter giving information about
  booking a place on the trip.
• The letter gives information about the process
  and a break down of the payment schedule.
• We believe that this trip is a fantastic opportunity
  for the children and hope that as many of them
  as possible are able to come and enjoy the trip.

As a school, we feel that this trip offers a huge
amount for children and can have a huge impact
on their confidence, self esteem and well being.
 We would love to take the full 180 children so
would ask that despite the cost, you give it some
              serious consideration.
