Activities Day - Monday 5 July 2021

On Monday 5 July, we are hosting a day of activities and trips to venues all around the Midlands for pupils in Year 7, 8, 9 10 and Lower Sixth. The school day is extended with College buses departing at 5.15pm and pick up by cars from 5.00pm; pupils will have the choice of how they spend their day. 

There is a huge range to the activities being offered by staff; the pupils will have a presentation on the choices that are available to their year group. Some activities attract a charge which will be added to the school bill, with parent consent, if pupils select one of these activities. The final list of activities will be distributed to pupils and families on the next edition of the Flagpole and pupils can make their selections via an online form which will be emailed to them at 7.00pm on Monday 7 June. 

The provisional list of options as they currently stand is attached here

It is traditionally a fantastic day of activities and it is great that it has returned this year. 

More information to come in the next edition of the Flagpole.
