Dear Parent/Carer

KSCS Choir and Acapella Trip to Disneyland Paris, July 2018

I am writing to you to inform you of a fantastic opportunity for your child to take part in an exciting performance. Following weeks of audition procedure I am really pleased to say that the students of Ken Stimpson have been selected once again to perform on one of the stages at Disneyland, Paris in July 2018.Disneyland receive thousands of applications annually and, from this these, only select a few hundred so this is a great testament to the hard work of our young people in being selected a second time.

The trip will leave Ken Stimpson early on Thursday July 12 2018, returning on Sunday July 15 2018 with performances on the Friday. Both the school choir and acapella groups haveconfirmed butfor all performing artists, this will be a wonderful opportunity to see, and study, some of the best performers there are in a live environment and, alongside our own performances, there will be tasks to observe and learn from these experienced professionals. This will be balanced alongside free time in the Disneyland parks.

Very few funds exist to subsidise such activities and therefore they can only take place if all parents of participating students are prepared to contribute to the cost. The total cost of this trip is not to be more than £440 per student including all travel arrangements, accommodation on the Disneyland site and all meals (Breakfast, Lunch and Dinner) whilst in France. Spaces are currently limited to 31 with four accompanying members of staff. If the visit is over-subscribed following all initial applications a waiting list will be created.

We realise that this may be a large amount. We would request an initial holding deposit of £20, along with the attached forms, by Tuesday 10 October and then the remaining monies can be paid monthly with all balances requested to be settled by Friday 11 May 2018. We will also be organising fund-raising activities towards the cost so it is hoped that this may reduce towards the end.

Of course I understand that you may have many questions regarding this trip and if this is the case please do not hesitate to contact me at the school. If you would like your child to take part in this trip please indicate this on the attached reply slip and return it via the payment box at the school along with the holding deposit.

We look forward to welcoming your child on this trip.

Yours faithfully
