Accommodation
• The pupils will sleep in 5-8 bedded dormitories, all of which
are en-suite. Girls and boys will sleep in separate dormitories.
Teachers will be sleeping in the same building, near the
dormitories. Children will need to bring their own sleeping
bags and towels.

Medication
Please advise staff about any medical concerns prior to
the visit. Please make sure all medication is named and
includes instructions about dosage.
The staff will have Elastoplasts, but you may bring your
own if you wish. Staff will take Calpol and Ibuprofen
with them in case a child requires it as per the
instructions you have detailed on your child’s medical
form.
22Allergies and Dietary Requirements
• The school will pass on any information regarding dietary
requirements and allergies to Manor Adventure
• Staff at the centre quickly identify children with allergies and
dietary requirements when we arrive
• Children who require specially prepared meals due to their
dietary requirements are very well catered for. These children
are given a card prior to the meal to collect their food from the
restaurant. Escargot is not a special
dietary requirement!
26/03/2019 23Spending Money
• This is not essential, but children may wish to have some
money to spend on souvenirs or tuck food.
• We recommend your child brings no more than €20 with them
and £10 of Sterling to use on the ferry.
26/03/2019 24Passports and EHIC cards – BREXIT?
• In 2018, the school arranged for a collective group passport on
the visit. However, due to Brexit/uncertainties, HM Passport
Office has recommended that your child should bring their own
with them with at least six month’s validity.
• EHIC cards (European Health Insurance Card). We are not yet
aware of the Brexit implications for these cards but we will have
our own health insurance.
