Dear Parents,

 

Year 1 trips 2023-2024

 

Every year, the children’s learning includes a range of experiences designed to ‘bring learning to life’. This year, the children in Year 1 will have the opportunity to take part in a visit from a local farm to explore ‘where our food comes from’ and a trip to Windsor Castle.

 

Inevitably, these wonderful opportunities come at a cost, although we can often secure a subsidised price for a school group booking. This year, we would like to offer you options about how you make payments for these experiences. The table below details each event, the cost of the voluntary contribution and the deadline date for the payment.

Year 1 2023 - 2024
Name of event	Date of Event	Voluntary Contribution per child	Deadline for Payment
Millers Ark farm visit	Wednesday 27th September 2023	£8.50	Wednesday 20th September 2023
Visit to Windsor Castle	Thursday 16th May 2023	£17.00	Thursday 18th April  2024

 

Within the SCOPAY payment system, both events will be set up separately. You will be able to access them at any time from receipt of this letter via www.scopay.com This will enable you to make part payments or full payments from now until the deadline date stated above for each event. We hope this will help in providing opportunities to budget weekly or monthly if you wish to do so.  You can also make the payment through the SCOPAY mobile app, which can be downloaded on the App Store or Google Play by searching for SCOPAY. Please log in with the same details you use for www.scopay.com

 

If you have a question regarding your SCOPAY account, please email the school office on secretary@owlsmoorprimary.com  If your child is in receipt of the pupil premium grant, the school will pay to cover the cost of these experiences, in line with government policy.

 

Full details about each event will be sent home nearer the time with a reminder of the payment deadline and a permission slip for your completion. In the meantime, should you have any further questions regarding this payment system, please contact the school office or speak to your child’s class teacher at the end of the day.

 

 

Yours Sincerely

 

The Year 1 Team
