Residential and Educational Trips
School year group and residential trips
During the course of a term your child may visit a place of interest linked to a topic studied in the classroom in order to enhance the learning process. Research has shown that children learn best when involved in practical and first-hand experience.

'I see and I remember'
'I do and I understand'
Parental permission will always be required for each visit. If this is not provided we will be unable to allow your child to go on the trip.
It may be necessary to ask for voluntary contributions towards the cost of a visit if it takes place during school time.
Residential trips take place for those pupils in Year 5 and 6 either during the week or on occasion at a weekend. Pupils attending these trips will have to pay the requested amount.
Should there be any concerns surrounding payments for any trips, please contact the school office on 01443 237833 or email admin@pontyclunprimary.rctcbc.cymru in confidence. Thank you
However, the school reserves the right to cancel any activity if the contributions cannot cover the cost of the visit.
Teaching staff may, on certain occasions, visit the local community. We will ask you to sign a parental consent form covering these local visits. The pupils will always be well supervised on all occasions.
