Ardres 2013: Groups

There are three sets of groups into which we organise pupils for the trip, so it can be a bit complicated:

• Travelling check-list groups so that we can easily check all pupils are present
• Tent allocations
• Activity groups

The tent allocations are based on requests received from pupils and parents and Mrs Liley is just finalising those.  The activity groups are to split the pupils into three groups of suitable sizes for the activities that will take place during the week.  These tend to be based on the tent groups and we will sort them out this week.

The travelling check-list groups are purely to speed up the process of checking off the pupils at various stages during the journey and at any point during the week when we need to check that all the pupils are present.  Pupils are not expected to stay in these groups; it is simply a matter of reporting to the relevant member of staff to be ticked off.  To make things simple, I have arranged those by form as below:

• Mrs Liley:  7Be and 7He
• Mr Edlin:   7Vi and 8Ca
• Mr Court:  8Co and 8Sa

These are the people to whom you should report on Monday morning.
