Dear Parent

As your child is currently undertaking a GCSE in Religious Philosophy and Ethics, I would like to offer them the opportunity to visit the Christchurch Priory. The visit will involve a tour of the Priory by a Priory volunteer.

The visit will complement our unit on Religion and Spiritual experience, whereby students are required to know about the role of the church, the specific features and architecture. This visit will greatly enhance their understanding of this unit.

The date of the visit will be Friday 24th October. We aim to leave school during period 1 and return during period 3.

Students will be required to wear school uniform.

We will be taking two minibuses and have space for 28 students. Students will initially be accepted on to the visit on a first come first serve basis. Reserve places will be available. Please note, however, that the Head teacher will consider attendance and behaviour before the trip commences. If they are not acceptable prior to the trip parents will be consulted, and, where time allows, be involved in achieving a positive resolution. Where participation is disallowed this may result in the partial or full loss of trip costs.

The cost of the visit will be £3.50. Payment should be made using the school’s on-line WisePay facility. Information regarding this can be found by following the Letters’ link on the Parents’ section of the school website (http://station1.highcliffe.dorset.sch.uk/intra/default.asp?id=2428) please make a note of your Wisepay receipt reference, as you will need to provide this on the attached slip/ consent form.

Receipts are generated automatically on WisePay and sent to the email address you supply when making the payment.

If you would like your child to participate in this visit, please return the attached slip and medical form to the Student Support office no later than Tuesday 14 October.

Yours sincerely

Mrs L Downie Curriculum Leader – Religious Education
