And finally… This is a great opportunity for the children to develop their independent skills and enable them to achieve things they may not have felt possible. Thank you to the staff who are giving up their time to ensure this trip is a success. We aim to be back at school for 3pm and the children can be collected then. They will be tired and probably be in need of a bath.
