This is a whole school event and all staff and pupils from Year 7-10 will be expected to attend and participate, consequently the school building will be closed for the day. All pupils will be expected to arrive in full school PE kit* at the venue in time for registration with their Form Tutor at 9:30am. We anticipate the day will end at 2:00pm so we ask that students are collected promptly at this time or alternatively if they are returning to school we anticipate arrival to be 2:45pm. If you intend to drop off and collect your son/daughter or are happy for them to make their own way to and from the venue on the day we ask that you specify details on the slip below. Alternatively, transport via coach will be provided for students to and from the venue at a cost of £5 which is available via Parent Pay. The deadline for this option is Friday 17 th May as numbers will have to be confirmed with the coach company. Students who wish to take this option will be required to be in school in full school PE kit* for registration at the usual time of 8:30am. The Manchester Regional Arena is an outstanding venue and has superb facilities including a covered grandstand where students will be based for the day. However, due to our somewhat changeable weather we expect all pupils to be thoroughly prepared for every eventuality! Warm clothes, waterproofs and sun tan lotion, as well as a packed lunch and drinks to last the day. A full weather forecast will be provided on the Thursday 4 th July. Parents are more than welcome to come and watch what we anticipate will be a fantastic day of sport, with a wonderful atmosphere. If you have any questions or concerns please do not hesitate to contact Mrs Evans or Mr Bradshaw at school, by ringing our school office or emailing [email protected] Thank you in advance for your support for what we hope will be a thoroughly enjoyable day. Yours faithfully, Mrs R S Wall (Principal) Mrs A. Evans (Head of Girl’s PE) Mr M.
