Our Year 8 Residential trip to PGL Caythorpe Court is taking place on Monday 21^st March – Wednesday 23^rd March. We are very much looking forward to taking the students away for what is shaping up to be a very busy and action packed 3 days. Here is a link to their website: https://www.pgl.co.uk/en-gb/family-adventures/centres/caythorpe-court?gclid=EAIaIQobChMIwYC2nODb9QIVsHNvBB3yAgmtEAAYASABEgJ0B_D_BwE

I would usually host a “Parents Information Evening” where you are invited along to watch a presentation, ask any questions and pass on some final important information ahead of the visit. However, due to the current climate this evening is unable to take place. I have recorded a short video which summarises our trip and hopefully answers some questions you or your child may have.

Attached to this letter is a kit list provided by PGL. It is important that students pack for all weathers and bring plenty of spare clothes in preparation for a variety of activities. Bedding is not provided and therefore students must pack a sleeping bag & pillow. I have summarised the key times for departure and arrival below:

If your child has any medical, dietary or other requirements please let me know by Friday 4^th March.

If you have any questions that are not answered in the video or on the PGL website above, please feel free to email me: SChamberlain@thomasclarksonacademy.org

Our Year 7 students have received their Bookbuzz titles after choosing their favourite to keep.

Children’s Mental Health Week, which starts on February 7, throws a spotlight on the issue of wellbeing and making time to do something that makes you feel good and becomes part of a routine.
