Behaviour

I am sure that all the children will be on their best behaviour and will represent the school in the best possible way.

However, if any child displays any type of seriously inappropriate behaviour, you will be contacted and you will have to come and collect your child from the trip.

Thank you for completing medical forms.

Mr. Price will be in charge of storing and administering medication whilst on the trip. All staff will be able to administer simple medication e.g. plasters.

On the morning we leave you will need to give all medication to Mr. Price. It must be LABELLED!
