Year 6 visit to GoApe

Tue 21 Jun 2022

The coach will leave school promptly at 8.45am and we would ask that children arrive at school for 8.30am. Pupils will return to school for 3pm.

Children will also need to bring a packed lunch, including a drink (no glass bottles or fizzy drinks) unless you have already ordered one with school (free school meal children only).

What to wear - Anything you don't mind getting dirty! Bring a waterproof layer for those rainy days. Short or long t-shirts, jeans, trackies, leggings or shorts are all fine. GoApe insist on close-toed, sensible shoes such as trainers or flat boots, and gloves are always a good idea - bring your own or purchase from our cabin. Long hair must be tied up, waists covered, and body piercings removed or taped over. Please note there are no changing facilities at any of our locations.

We would also ask that you ensure your child has their inhaler in school if they have been diagnosed with asthma.
