Dear Parent/Carer
SCHOOL JOURNEY WALES - 22nd – 26th OCTOBER 2012
The cost of the school journey to Wales this year will be £264. This cost includes the return transport to and from Wales, accommodation, all meals and use of facilities, hire of the centre mini buses and drivers, and the visit to the local swimming pool.
We would like you to commit yourself to a method of payment, as this will help us in the collection and banking of monies. A payment card is attached which should accompany any payment you make. This will be receipted and returned to you via your child’s class teacher. Full payment must be made before your child departs for school journey. Once you have indicated your child wishes to attend, we will advise the Centre to confirm the booking; we have been told by the Centre that they will levy a charge once the confirmation is received.
The options are:
1. One off payment of £264 as soon as possible - this can be postdated to 16th July if this is more convenient
2. Three post-dated cheques: 1st cheque dated16th July 2012– payment of £88
2nd cheque dated 31st August 2012 – payment of £88
3rd cheque dated 30th September 2012 payment of £88
3. Eleven Weekly payments of £24 commencing Friday 22nd June and finishing Friday 5th October.
Grants are also available which help cover the bed and breakfast element of the journey if you are in receipt of one of the following benefits: Working Tax Credit, Child Tax Credit at a rate higher than the basic family and baby element, Pension Credit Guarantee if you also get Child Tax Credit at a rate higher than the basic family and baby element, Support under part 6 of the Immigration and Asylum Act 1999. However you will still need to pay £140 to cover the cost of the travel, the difference between the amount of grant available and the centre cost and swimming.
Please indicate below if you wish to make an application for the grant; the school office will be happy to process this for you.
Please tear off the slip below and return it to the Office by the end of the week, so that we are aware of your preferred method of payment. If you wish to make a payment at this time please do so using the enclosed payment card; otherwise we expect you to keep to the schedule you have indicated. Please also ensure that the consent form is completed and returned to the school office with the slip below.
If you have any queries please do not hesitate to contact the school office. We are sure the children will enjoy the fun, action packed week we have arranged for them. We will text you daily with details of their activities together with details on the school’s website www.webfronter.com/greenwich/Deansfield when possible. Thank you for your support.
Yours sincerely,
Mr J Camp, Executive Headteacher Mrs J Gordon, Head of School
