Sponsored Walk - Friday 24 May

Sponsor forms must be handed in to tutors on Thursday 23 May. Sponsor forms will then be checked and signed off at the end of the walk on Friday.  The forms will be returned to students at the end of the walk.  Sponsorship monies should be collected during half term and returned, no later than Friday 7 June, with the sponsor form, to tutors in an envelope, clearly marked with your child’s name and tutor group, and the amount collected. 

Students should arrive at the normal school time (8.40am) and go straight to tutor rooms to be registered.  Students must be registered at the end of the walk before going home.  Students should wear their PE uniform plus something in their House colour. 

Students must remember to bring a packed lunch and drink (no fizzy drinks).  Students who receive free school meals, will have a packed lunch provided; this will be collected from the canteen by the House teams.  Students must wear appropriate footwear for walking across fields.  Please check the weather forecast – if wet, please ensure students have a waterproof jacket; if warm and sunny, please ensure students have a hat and sun cream. 

All students are expected to walk unless they have a medical condition.  If your child is not walking on the day, they should report to the school library, with their equipment, where they will be supervised for the day. Students must bring a packed lunch with them as the canteen will not be open.  They will work in the Library until the end of the school day at 3.15pm.

Students may get back early from their House walk but will not be able to leave school site until 2pm. Please arrange suitable transport for your child to get home safely. If your child waits for public transport, they are welcome to wait on school site in the Eden Hall until 3.15pm. 

If you have any questions about sponsored walk, please speak to your Year Team in the first instance.
