Dormitories: Children are split into dormitories of 6 children which we will arrange- boys and girls will be separate. Children will be asked to name 3 friends that they would like to be with. We will put them with at least one of these friends. They will be told their dormitories on the coach.

The accommodation is in centrally heated dormitories equipped with showers and drying rooms. SHOWER ROUTINE ALL children are now offered access to individual showers which will be for our school use only. Hair washing-there are no hair drying facilities so girls will not be able to wash their hair. Girls can wear either a shower cap or a swimming hat to keep their hair dry.

Behaviour During our visit the school behaviour policy will be continued. Red cards will result in the children losing part or all of their free time and/or the opportunity to visit the tuck shop. If children demonstrate behaviour which puts themselves or others at risk then they will be asked to leave the centre and sent home

Contact with school We will phone the school to let them know that we have arrived safely. Mrs Scott will visit us during our stay. We are in daily contact with the school and Mrs Scott will send you a short update email during the week. Children will be writing a postcard/ letter which will be sent home. Please provide you child with a stamp – they are available to buy at the shop on site too. If you would like to send a letter please use the address given on the previous letter. If you have an emergency then the centre’s number can also be found on this letter. There is no longer a Parents’ visit on a Thursday night.
