On Monday 30^th March, our Reception classes will be visiting Smithills Farm in Bolton where they will be looking at animal families and the changes they go through as they grow. The children will have the opportunity to handle and feed many of the   animals and as a special treat they will be able to ride on a donkey and travel around the farm on a tractor trailer.

All children must wear school uniform on the school trip and please ensure your child is wearing appropriate shoes, coat, hat, sun cream etc. according to the weather.

The cost of the trip will be £12 per child. This is a voluntary contribution towards the cost of the visit and transport, however if there is not enough money collected the trip will be cancelled.  This cost of the trip has been heavily subsidised by school. 

Please go to parent mail and complete the consent form (found in the forms section) and please pay for the visit (payments/then shop)

As part of their History topic, Year 6 have been learning about World War 2 and will be visiting the Imperial War Museum on Wednesday 18^th March 2026.

School is subsidising the cost of the trip, but we ask for a parental contribution of £5. This is a     voluntary contribution, however if we are not able to cover the cost we may need to cancel the visit.

Please go to parent mail and complete the consent form (found in the forms section) and please pay for the visit (payments/then shop).
