Half-Term 3 Cultural Capital Week
Dear Parent/Carer,
Student enrichment experiences are a vital part of our Safe, Ready, Respectful curriculum at the Edge Academy and 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 during the week beginning February 13th 2023. As previously advised, Year 11 students will be attending lessons as normal on a slightly modified timetable with selected students completing their food practical assessments each day as part of their “Examination Fortnight”. Year 10 and Connect groups will be out of school on various visits listed below throughout the week. The visits are part of our curriculum offer and as such there will be no alternative on-site provision.
All participants will need to wear comfortable clothing and trainer type shoes; open toe shoes, sandals or sliders are not recommended. Students will need an outdoor coat as they will spend part of the day outside, alternative arrangements will be made in the case of extreme bad weather. The trips will use a variety of transport: All trips will return at around 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, however there may be opportunity for students to access other refreshments should they wish to bring a small amount of money themselves. This is optional and not necessarily required.
The trips and activities in Cultural Capital Week will operate as follows:
| Monday | Tuesday | Wednesday | Thursday | Friday | |
| 10A | Vocational Learning as usual | Rock Up Trip | Normal lessons in morning, term finishes for all students at 12pm. | ||
| 10B | Rock Up Trip | Vocational Learning as usual | |||
| Connect 9 | Stourport Trip | ||||
| Connect 8 | Stourport Trip |
Should you have any queries regarding Cultural Capital Week, 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 any particular trip.
Yours faithfully,
Charlotte Poynton
Assistant Principal
