Dear parents and carers,

As part of our Cornerstones topic, Stargazer, Class 4 are booked on an exciting trip to the National Space Centre in Leicester on Thursday 23^rd January 2025 to learn more about our solar system including a visit to the Planetarium!

This trip is due to take place outside of the school day and we will be leaving by coach promptly at 8:10am.  We are due to arrive back at school at approximately 6pm.

Children will need to wear their school uniform.  They will also need a suitable outdoor coat and sensible shoes.

All children will require a packed lunch and a labelled water bottle (no glass please).  If your child is eligible to receive Free School Meals they will be provided with a packed lunch on the morning of the trip unless you specifically advise on ParentPay your child will bring a lunch from home.

We would ask that children bring a small rucksack to carry their lunch and water bottle to allow them to be hands free to participate fully in the experience please.

St Luke’s School Fund is subsidising the cost of this trip, including the funds raised by two cake sales but due to the ever-increasing costs of transport, parents are being asked to contribute £30 per child.  We appreciate this is costly, but the experience will be second to none!  Please ensure you confirm your consents by completing the details requested on ParentPay asap but no later than Monday 20^th January 2025.

We will be photographing pupils participating in activities throughout the day but if you do not wish your child to be included, please ensure you carefully check and annotate the consents accordingly on ParentPay.  If you change your mind regarding photographs at any point, please contact St Luke’s prior to the event.

If you have any queries or concerns, please contact the school office.

Kind regards,

Mrs S Green
