HILLTOP 2025

Reminders- Important information

We are so excited to be completing the final checks for our annual Hilltop visit; we just know it is going to be amazing!  The staff at Hilltop Outdoor Centre continue to be fantastic and are always so helpful and the instructors are all looking forward to seeing us.

 

Not such an early start this year!

We will depart, promptly, on Monday 10th February 2025 at 8.00am.  Please can we ask that you bring your children into school for between 7.00am and 7.15am no earlier than 7.00am please!  Group 1 and 2 children will meet in Falcon and Group 3 and 4 children will meet in Eagle.  Have an early night the night before – the trip will be action packed, but very much worth it! 

 

Suitcases

When you first arrive at school, Mr Coulson will be there to greet you and will load the children’s cases straight onto the coaches, so please leave these outside in the car park rather than bringing them into the classrooms.  The coach company has requested that cases are of a ‘moderate’ size, so no packing for a six-week trip!  Your child will need to bring a sleeping bag – a duvet is fine in a black bag; however, please be mindful, your child will need to carry this.

 

Registration

Once you have dropped your child’s suitcase off, please can you bring your child into school to their meeting point.  Group 1 and 2 children will meet in Falcon and Group 3 and 4 children will meet in Eagle.  Once you have dropped off your child, please can we ask that all adults wait by the coach to wave your child off, rather than waiting in the classroom, so the staff can complete the last-minute checks with the children before the visit.

 

Medication

If your child requires any medication, Mrs Banks and Mrs Allan, will be on hand on the morning of Monday 10th February to collect it in.  Please ensure any medication is clearly labelled with your child’s name and hand it in. Mrs Allan will be collecting in Groups 1 and 2 medication and Ms Banks will be collecting Groups 3 and 4 medication when you arrive at school.  If your child requires travel sickness medication, please ensure they have taken this before they leave home and also give Mrs Banks a tablet for the return journey on Friday 14th February 2025. 

 

Pocket Money

From Monday 13th January, £10.00 pocket money should be brought to the office in a named, sealed envelope. We will split their money into five individual envelopes labelled with your child’s name with £2.00 in each envelope, ready to hand out each day.  There is a small tuck shop, which we will open each day where the children can spend their money. 

 

You need to bring a packed lunch for when we get there!

Please can you provide your child with a packed lunch that they need to take on the coach with them to eat when we arrive at Hilltop.  Please don’t pack their lunch in their cases!  The lunch is not for when we are on the coach, but they may bring a snack to eat on the journey there.  We do have some children with a serious nut allergy, so please nothing that may contain nuts can be included in the packed lunch.
