Please do not allow your children to take any valuable items of jewellery etc with them. I would also request that students take a maximum of one electronic device with them. Part of the skills that students develop on residential trips is those of being responsible for making decisions for themselves. Due to the large number of students going, and our priority on their safety, staff cannot be responsible for students’ belongings. Please only allow your child to take things for which they can be responsible, and that will not cause too much distress if lost. In particular, expensive phones have a habit of being lost or damaged.
