UPDATE: Now fully booked!
For Year 10 GCSE History: Following our previous letter sent, we are very excited to inform you that the school is running a residential trip to London for current Year 10 History students in October (21st – 22nd October 2024). Perins School recognises that trips are an important part of school life and as well as forming lifelong memories, they help students and staff develop positive and rewarding relationships. With this in mind, we would ask that you share this wonderful opportunity with your child. To help you reach a decision, please follow this link for more details on the Perins School residential visits planner.
Trip Information
| Location | London – GCSE History London and the Blitz Tour. |
| Departure Date | Monday 21st October |
| Departure Time | 6:30 am |
| Return Date | Tuesday 22nd October |
| Return Time | Approx 8.00pm |
The trip will visit places associated with the Historic Environment, London and the Blitz Unit for the History GCSE course. Pupils will visit some of the key target areas of the Blitz, which will include a walking tour of the City of London and surrounding areas including Westminster, Whitehall and The Tower of London and will also visit the Cabinet War rooms and the Imperial War Museum.
Financials
The cost of the trip is £260 and is provisional at this stage as the final cost will be dependent on numbers. To be considered for the trip, we would ask that a deposit payment of £130 is made through your Scopay account by 9am on Monday 3rd June. Places are limited to 40 students, and if the trip is over-subscribed, we will hold a random draw. You will be refunded if unsuccessful.
The payments schedule is as follows:
| Month | Year | Amount |
| 9am on 3rd June | 2024 | £130 |
| 1st July | 2024 | £130 |
The trip is deemed to be a non-educational trip as it takes place outside of school hours.
Selection and Student Expectation
For all trips, we recognise that parents have made a financial commitment and expect their child to have an enjoyable and worthwhile experience. We also recognise that staff often give up their own time to enable students to have these experiences. If the school believes that the behaviour of a student is of such a concern that it raises questions around the safety and enjoyment of the trip by others in attendance, then we reserve the right to not offer a place or remove a student prior to or during a trip.
In normal circumstances and where the behaviour is not a single serious incident, staff will have meetings with students and parents to express concerns so that the student has an opportunity to improve their behaviour and parents have the opportunity to remove their child from the trip to mitigate any further financial loss should they not be permitted to attend. If the school is left with no alternative but to remove a student from a trip, then any payments will not be recoverable by the parent/carer unless a replacement can be found.
If you have any questions about the trip or require financial assistance, please email trips@perins.hants.sch.uk
Kind regards
Miss Lewis
Trip Leader
