Unfortunately we have not (as yet) had sufficient parental contributions for the African Experience Day to go ahead, so a decision will be taken this Wednesday (14 March 2018) as to whether or not to cancel the day.

This is a great shame as it is an experience we have previously organised and it was very successful. The children thoroughly enjoyed the day and despite it appearing to be costly for an in-house visit, it was deemed to have been very good value for money.

As I am sure you can appreciate, taking children off site always involves an additional cost for transport and means the activities are more limited because travel time is lost. By having visitors to our school this means we get a day full of activities which is better value for the children.

You will be informed on Wednesday of the decision, in the meantime, thank you to those of you who have already paid. It isn’t too late to contribute to the African Experience Day to ensure it can still go ahead. If you haven’t yet used your £6 credit (refund from the Chester Zoo visit) this can be applied to the cost so it would leave £6.50 to pay. Thank you.
