November 2011 Enterprise Week 2nd - 6th July 2012

November 2011

 

Dear Parent/Carer

 

This year we are launching our biggest ever Enterprise Week, with the opportunity to travel to Europe and enjoy days around England on offer to students.  The purpose of the week's activities is to develop the students' enterprise skills, especially team working, communication and creativity.

 

All students will be taken off timetable from Monday, July 2nd to Friday, July 6th, with a series of on site and off site activities being staged.

 

We are giving advance warning of off-site trips so that you and your child have time to consider the options.  The attached list shows the off-site activities available during Enterprise Week, the duration of the trip and the cost.  There is no need to decide on activities until the organisers of each of the activities have circulated specific trip letters to the appropriate students.  The individual trip letters will contain full details of the activity, the cost, method of transport, and information about paying for the trip. 

 

Trips out of school will require a deposit to secure a place (which will be refundable if the trip is unable to go ahead because of insufficient numbers or if the trip is oversubscribed). Places will be allocated on a first come, first served basis. We ask that you reserve your child's place as soon as possible following receipt of the specific trip letter. 

 

Yours faithfully
