TEAM Week for Year 7 - Letter to Parents/Carers
Dear Parent/Carer
TEAM Week for Year 7, Monday 17th-Friday 21st July 2023
I am writing to provide you with information about our TEAM week, which we are excited to be able to offer to all our students. The Curriculum will be collapsed, and students will follow the same programme giving them the opportunity to learn outside the classroom and to further develop our school TEAM values.
Students will line up and register as normal on each day and all activities will run within school hours meaning normal transport arrangements to and from school. When students are in school, they will be able to access the canteen as normal. When on trips they will need to bring a packed lunch, packed lunches will be provided for FSM students. Students will need to ensure they are prepared for all eventualities, bringing a waterproof jacket and suntan lotion as well as plenty to drink. They should not bring valuables as school cannot be responsible for these. I have included the outline for the week below:

We will write to you nearer the time with more specific details and arrangements. In the meantime should you have any further questions please email myself at egue@saltashcloud.net or head of year afeldwick@saltashcloud.net or your child’s form tutor.
We have tried to keep the costs of activities and trips to a minimum and have subsidised these. However, we are requesting a £28 voluntary contribution, this will be on ParentPay, the deadline for this payment will be the 5th July 2023, if we do not receive enough contributions then the external trips might not be able to run. We really hope that this will not be the case but will let you know. We will be in contact with you if we have not already received whole school consent for the year.
Thank you as always for your ongoing support.
Yours faithfully
Mrs E Gue
