Dear Parent/Carer,

Wider Learning Week 2018: Monday 9 – Friday 13 July

Year 7 Day-by-Day Itinerary

Wider Learning Week provides enriching learning experiences in familiar and new contexts.
Activities will challenge students and promote a wider understanding and independence. It is also
to reward students for their hard work this year. Please be aware that, for the duration of this
week, the school day will change - school will start at 8.45am and finish at 2.50pm. This is to
provide time for staff to set up these activities, and to allow students to register in their activity
groups. Below outlines the exact nature of the week for your son/ward.

On Monday and Tuesday, all of Year 7 will be following activities in form groups. These will vary
based on whether you have previously consented for your son/ward to attend the off-site visits.
Places on these visits are now closed.

Key points:
 School Day starts 8.45am and finishes 2.50pm.
 Full school uniform should be worn and equipment brought as normal.
 PE kit (not games kit) should be worn on Healthy Choices day.
 Packed lunch needed for Osterley Park trips (FSM students will be provided with one).
 Students should note the room the number they need to meet in each day.

We look forward to a rewarding week. Normal school standards and expectations apply; any
student not meeting these may be removed from Wider Learning Week activities to conduct work
independently. Please do not hesitate to contact me or the pastoral team if you have any
questions.

Yours faithfully,

Miss C Lawler
