Dear Parent/Carer,
Student enrichment experiences are a vital part of our Safe, Ready, Respectful curriculum at the Edge Academy and we are delighted that we can now begin to offer more of these as the pandemic restrictions begin to ease. School visits to different environments and places outside of the local area form a key aspect of that provision.
We are planning to give further such opportunities to students in Key Stage 3 during the week beginning May 24th 2021. Students will be out of school to visit Habberley Valley local nature reserve near Kidderminster, Kinver Edge rock houses and caves, and the attractive Georgian towns of Bewdley and Stourport that sit directly upon the River Severn.
The trips will operate as follows;
- Wednesday 26th May – Year 9 students only.
- Thursday 27th May – Year 7 and 8 students only.
All participants will need to wear comfortable clothing and trainer type shoes; open toe shoes, sandals or sliders are not recommended. The minibus will leave school promptly at 9.45pm and will return at approximately 2.00pm. Students will be free to leave from school upon return at 2.00pm in recognition of the full day of offsite activities that they will have been actively participating within.
Lunch, refreshments and drinks will be provided as part of the trip, however there may be opportunity for students to access other refreshments or amusement arcades should they wish to bring a small amount of money themselves. This is optional and not necessarily required.
The trip will be led and supported by myself and James Price.
Should you have any queries regarding this trip, please do not hesitate to contact the school, or myself directly via [email protected] or replying via the SMS text message sent from school to notify you of the trip.
Yours faithfully,
Adam Smith
Vice Principal
