1 12 September 2017 Year 8 Visit to France Friday 6 th Monday 9 th October Dear Parent/Carer With the trip to France rapidly approaching I would like to take this opportunity to provide you with a list of essential items that your child will need to bring along on the visit. I have also included an itinerary so that you will be able to see what kind of activities your son/daughter will be taking part in while we are in France. Below is a list of essential items that your child will need to bring with them for the trip to France. Passport EHIC card* 1 bath towel Toiletries Night clothes Casual clothing for 4 days Socks and underwear Waterproof clothing including a jacket Comfortable and sturdy shoes or wellingtons Large plastic bag for dirty clothes Gloves, hat, scarf Water bottle Food for journey on the first day Snacks for 4 days to supplement provided meals Writing implements such as pens and pencils Pocket money for souvenirs and refreshments. We recommend Please bear in mind that your child must have their passports and EHIC cards for the trip. *The EHIC card is a European Health Insurance card and is available free of charge at It normally takes around 7 days to arrive and it is essential that this is done prior to your child taking their place on the trip as they will need to bring the card with them. The week before the visit (week beginning 2 nd October) your child must hand in both the passport and EHIC card and these will be kept in the school safe as this is the policy for the Academy. I must also stress that your child must have both documents otherwise he/she will not be able to take part in the school trip.

2 With regards to any medication that your child will be taking when in France you may hand this in to a member of staff to look after prior to the visit. However, could I also request that if you are doing so to please include typed information with regards to the medicine itself. Furthermore, I have attached a preliminary itinerary which will give you a flavour of what your child will be doing on a day to day basis between 6 th and 9 th October. Finally, you will see that I have also attached a copy of the Administration of Medicines Form. Could I ask that you please complete this at your earliest convenience and return it to the Academy office. In the meantime if you have any further questions please do not hesitate to contact me at the Academy on (01642) Yours sincerely Mr Thompson Head of Modern Foreign Languages Encs
