I will confirm this itinerary nearer the time and will post blog updates during the actual journeys.

I am also pleased to report that I did eventually receive everyone's clothing orders and we have been able to put in the order in plenty of time to ensure they can be made and delivered before we go. Thanks for your prompt attention to sorting that out.

Ardres 2016: Update 2

We have reached 35 pupils! This means that we can secure the cheapest overall price (£365 or £388 including hoodie). Please check your emails for details of how much you need to pay and when.

We have set a date for the information evening. This will be held on Thursday 28th April at 7pm. You will need to bring the paperwork that you will be sent in advance and we also ask that you bring with you the children's passports and EHICs so that we can check them and lock them in the safe.

Further details soon, keep checking those email inboxes!
