Year 5 educational visits, visitors and workshops for the academic year 2023-24.
Dear Parents, As a school we value the additional experiences that bring our taught curriculum to life. We recognise too that household budgets are squeezed and want to be responsible for our school community. We have tried to limit and reduce any voluntary contributions – no child is ever excluded. However, the educational experience has to be viable and these events supplement our core curriculum to enhance pupils’ time at Abbey. Please see below a list of dates for your child’s year group. We will do our very best to hold to these, but sometimes there may be some changes for unexpected reasons. All of the dates are on our calendar and you can link this to your smartphone by following the link: Subscribe to this Calendar | The Federation of Abbey Infant and Abbey Junior Schools (abbeyfederation.co.uk) Other whole school events e.g. Disco, School Fair will be available from the subscribed calendar.
