Y4 High Borrans Further Details
Dear parents / carers
As we approach the High Borrans trip in April, we would like to share some further information with you about the trip.
High Borrans permission form
Your child will bring home a permission form with them tonight entitled ‘High Borrans Dietary, Medical & Contact Information Form – Under 18’s’. This form needs to be completed and returned to school no later than Friday 25th March. This is a paper form rather than our usual electronic format as requested by High Borrans.
Medication
If your child already has medication in school, we will take this with us on the trip. If your child requires any additional medication on the trip you should provide this to school no later than Friday 8th April. Please come to the school office with the medication and complete a permission form allowing us to administer the medication. All medication must be in its original container / box. This includes any travel sickness medication. For further information, see our Managing Medication Policy.
Kit list
Children will be required to bring a packed bag containing everything they need for their High Borrans adventure! To see the recommended kit list, please click here. Children should not bring their phone or any other electronics as the focus of this visit is outdoor activity and team building.
