Dear Parents and Carers,
Arthog visit 2025
As you may be aware, in Year 6 your child is invited to attend the Arthog Outdoor Education Centre in Wales for 4 nights. The trip will take place in the Autumn term: October 6th – 10th 2025.
Arthog is an outdoor education centre on the Welsh coast, near to Barmouth and Fairbourne. The children gain a great deal from this trip: independence, the opportunity to try new skills, build confidence and develop their teamwork skills, whilst enjoying the great outdoors. Activities organised by the centre include gorge walking, rock climbing, canoeing and mountain walking. Further information can be found on their website: https://www.telford.gov.uk/aoec/site/index.php
The total cost for Arthog is £350, with school subsidising the rest of the cost. This can be split into 6 payments (alternatively, you can pay in full if this is more convenient for you):
- 1st March: initial deposit of £80
- 1st April: £50
- 1st May: £50
- 1st June: £50
- 1st July: £60
- 1st September: £60 (final payment)
The details for payments will be on ParentPay and will go live on Tuesday 28th January. The cost includes travel, food (a cooked breakfast, packed lunch and evening meal daily), accommodation and of course all the great activities they do.
We would like to invite you to an information session about the trip. This will be held at 5pm on Tuesday 28th January in the school hall. Entrance will be at the back of the hall, via the exit doors. Later in the year, we will send out further information about e.g. kit lists and timings, but for now, we simply need confirmation as to whether your child would like to attend.
Yours sincerely,
Mr McFarland and Mrs Stack.
