How does my child get a place?

Places for this year's visit (June 2022) have already been allocated but, the procedure is the same each year:

• Pupils are given an assembly regarding the visit (explaining activities, cost, expectations)
• Information regarding the trip is sent home to families
• Names are gathered from those children interested in going (with a deadline for submissions)
• Information is gathered regarding the attendance, behaviour and approach to learning of each pupil who put their name forward
• Families are informed if their child's name has been removed from the list and the reason for that decision (this could be; attendance below 93%, negative behaviour incidents, etc.)
• The final list of names are then put in a box and chosen at random in front of the pupils (usually on a Friday afternoon)
• Letters are sent home the same day with all the children to say whether they have been allocated a place or are on the reserve list
• A deposit is then required to secure each child's place

**Note: from September 2022, Water Park Residential Visits will be open to Year 6 pupils only.
