The last two years have been awful for all school-aged children and as a school we have been trying to do our best to provide the best education possible in very difficult circumstances. We are able to offer a trip to London for our Y6 pupils in June this year but this is dependent on Covid and travel restrictions at the time. The activities on the trip would be linked to their learning in school and will enhance their cultural capital by being able to visit and explore our capital city.

Our plans are as follows:

Thursday 16th June: travel to London via train. Visit to see the Houses of Parliament then time to experience the street performers and shops at Covent Garden. Enjoy an evening meal in a restaurant in Leicester Square. Stay overnight in a hotel in twin/triple rooms with their friends.

Friday 17th June: Go on the London Eye to see all across London then enjoy a river cruise to the Tower of London. View the Tower and Tower Bridge from the path and cruise back up the river Thames. Have lunch and walk to Buckingham Palace. Get the train home.

We are willing to fund most of the trip so as many of our Y6 pupils can attend as possible, but there would be a payment of £50 per child. This is the absolute lowest that we could charge but I'm sure that you agree that they would be getting great value for money. Please see our school office about paying for the trip by 4th March 2022. You may pay in installments if you wish to.

If you have any questions at this stage, please email office@wallsendstpeters.org.uk and I will reply as soon as I can. If there are no travel restrictions and there is enough interest for the trip to go ahead I will be hosting an information meeting for parents and pupils to answer all questions and give further information nearer the time.
