Ardres 2018: Update 2

The trip has filled up very quickly and we are now operating a waiting list.  However, if you are keen to come, do please still fill in the application form on the launch website.  It may be possible to add some more people to the group in a few weeks when we know if there will be more tents available, so I need to know how many people in total would like to come.

Ardres 2018: Update 1

After a flurry of submissions yesterday evening and this morning, we now have plenty of people to ensure that the trip can run for the cheapest price and we have pretty much filled up all the places.  However, this does not mean we can't take anybody else as it may be possible to extend the numbers, so do fill in the form if you haven't and would like to go.

Acorn are not yet able to tell us whether any of the second village will be available, as it's not too late for them to book it out to another group.  If we have extra people, we may therefore be able to add them to the trip a little bit later if Acorn don't book anyone else (they don't usually for that week).  Also we usually have one or two who need to drop out, so we can slot in someone else.

We generally end up taking everyone who wants to go and we will certainly do our best to sort it out, so please fill in the form so that I can see how many extra places we might need.

Ardres 2018 Launched !

All of Years 7 and 8 were told about the trip in this morning's assembly slot and an email giving a link to the launch website was sent to all parents of pupils in those years at 5pm.  I am pleased to report that quite a few people have already submitted the form, so the system is working.  Please don't delay too long if you want to come; I can only be absolutely sure of taking around 40 people, although I will do all I can to take more if there is demand.  Last year we were fortunate and managed to take 48.

We have a dozen signed up already and it's not yet 6pm ...
