Sent to parents and carers of Y10 History students attending this trip on 20/1/25
Update re Y10 Residential Trip to the Battlefields – July 2025
Welcome back and Happy New Year!
I thought it may be helpful to send out a January reminder and update regarding the Battlefields trip. Firstly, the next instalment as show in the chart below for the trip is due please by Friday 31 January. Please make payments through the MCAS app. Thank you to those of you who have already made additional payments.
An email will soon go out to all parents and carers from Evolve, our trip management system, asking for parental consent and medical information for the trip. This does sometimes go to the ‘junk’ folder, so please keep an eye out for it.
Instalments will be due as follows:
| £80 PAID | 30 Sep 2024 (deposit) |
| £80 | Due by 30 November 2024 |
| £70 | Due by 31 January 2025 |
| £60 | Due by 30 March 2025 |
| £67 | Due 3 May 2025 (balance) |
| £357 | Total Sum Payable pp in full |
Students will all need their own passport to be able to come on the trip, please note that the EU requires the passport to have been issued within the last 10 years. If you have yet to arrange the passport and need a professional person to verify the photo, I am happy to assist, please just send me an email to let me know.
Parents will also need to apply for the free GHIC card (link below), when you the parent do the form for yourself, you then apply for one for your child at the same time.
The new ETIAS Visa system and has been delayed until ‘later in 2025’. I will update on this when I know more.
Should there be any problems in regards to payments, passports or the trip please do reach out to me via email and I will assist as best as I can.
