Sent to parents and carers of participating Y10 GCSE History students on 5/11/25
Y10 GCSE History Battlefields Trip: July 2026
I hope that you had a pleasant and restful half-term break. As we are now into November, I am reaching out with a few reminders with regards to the Battlefields trip.
Firstly, a reminder that the next instalment as shown in the chart is payable by Friday 28 November. Thank you to those of you who have already paid this.
An email will soon go out to all parents and carers from Adam Thorpe and Evolve, this is the consent form for the trip. This does sometimes go to the ‘junk’ folder, so please keep an eye out for it.
Remaining instalments will be due as follows:
| £80 | 28 November 2025 | |
| £70 | 30 January 2026 | |
| £80 | 30 March 2026 | |
| £70 | 4 May 2026 (balance) | |
| £380 | 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. Parents will also need to apply for the free GHIC card (link below). When you, as the parent, do the form for yourself then you then apply for one for your child at the same time.
As in the previous communications, you should also be aware that the academy reserves the right to withdraw a place on the trip for any student whose attitude, attendance, behaviour, conduct or punctuality falls below the standard we expect and require of our students.
Should there be any problems with regards to payments, GHICS, passports or the trip, please do reach out to me via email and I will assist as best as I can.
Kind Regards
Mr A Archer
Teacher of History
