Dear Parents,

This year Wakefield Theatre Royal and Opera House will be presenting the Christmas Pantomime ‘Cinderella’ and due to the popularity and success of previous years, we have arranged a block of seats, near the front of the stalls, to be reserved for children in Key Stage 2. This will be a wonderful opportunity for the children to appreciate a live theatre performance.

The theatre seats have been booked for the Thursday evening performance, from 6.30pm – 9.15pm (ish) on the 6th December. As the date coincides with Christmas, we feel it will be a wonderful treat for the children.

Staff from school will be there to supervise the children, but they will need to be brought to, and collected from, the theatre.

The cost of the tickets will be £12.00 (a special price given to schools). Because attendance is optional, and outside of school hours, people in receipt of Pupil Premium funding will have to pay.

If your child would like to attend, please ensure payment is secured via Parentmail by Wednesday 3rd October 2018. I understand that this is early, but we have to book early in order to be given seats at the front of the stalls. If we have more children wanting to attend than places reserved then ALL children’s names will be drawn from a ‘hat’ to ensure the process is fair for all. It will not be on a first come first served basis.

Yours sincerely

Miss R Hirst Assistant Headteacher & Educational Visits Co-ordinator
