Year 6 High Borrans – May 2022

 

Dear parents / carers

 

We are excited to confirm that Year 6 will have the opportunity to take part in a residential visit to High Borrans this May!  We very much hope that all children who want to will take up this amazing opportunity.  

 

High Borrans is an Outdoor Education centre near Windermere in the Lake District.  It is a self-contained centre, in its own grounds, which belongs to North Tyneside Council.  The children will get the chance to visit some different parts of the Lake District and try out some expert-led activities, such as canoeing and Ghyll scrambling. They will develop independence, resilience and cooperative skills.  To find out more about High Borrans and what they offer, click this link.  

 

The visit is during the school week, the week before May half term.  Children will be away on the visit for three days and two nights as follows:

• 6L – Monday 23rd May to Wednesday 25th May
• 6F – Wednesday 25th May to Friday 27th May

 

The children are accompanied by our own school staff on the visit.

 

Children who choose not to take up this opportunity can remain in school.  However there are enough places to accommodate all children who wish to go.  

 

The full cost of this trip is £285 per child.  The cost of this trip is unfortunately higher than the recent Y4 trip as High Borrans have increased their prices.  Payment should be made using School Gateway ‘Payments’ according to the following payment schedule:

 

Name of payment	Amount	Deadline
Y6 High Borrans 2022 Deposit	£50	Friday 25th March
Y6 High Borrans 2022 First Installment	£100	Friday 15th April
Y6 High Borrans 2022 Second Installment	£135	Friday 13th May

 

Should you wish to discuss any payment difficulties, or request a different payment plan, then please contact the office to talk to Miss Byrne in confidence.

 

If you would like your child to attend the trip to High Borrans, please complete the online form AT THIS LINK by Friday 11th March.  

 

Further details about the trip will be shared after this date.  

 

Thank you

Y6 Staff
