Dear Parents/Carer
TGS Anglo-Saxon and Norman England Trip: Norwich Castle – Tour of Castle and Workshop
Monday 11th June 2018
The TGS History Department are planning a day trip to Norwich Castle for Year 10 Historians. This will be a fantastic opportunity to meet Saxon and Norman characters, re-enact the Battle of Hastings as well as taking a tour of the castle to discover why it was built, how it would was built and how important it was to the Normans.
The programme has been designed so that it relates to the Edexcel GCSE (Paper 2) subject content and will, therefore, be helpful for examination preparation for the future.
We will be travelling to Norwich Castle at 8am on the 11th June in a coach and will aim to return for 4pm in time for the late buses.
Students will wear their school uniform and will need to bring a packed lunch for the trip. If free school lunch is usually provided by TGS please indicate this on the consent form and a packed lunch will be arranged by the school catering team.
A voluntary contribution of £15 is required towards the costs of this visit. Without this voluntary contribution from each student this visit may not be able to take place. Please enclose this in the form of cash / cheque (please make cheques payable to Samuel Ward Multi Academy Trust).
In order to secure a place on the trip, please return the attached Parental Consent form along with your voluntary contribution of £15 to Mrs Griss in Student Services no later than 25th May 2018.
This is an educational visit. The school expects students to behave in a responsible manner at all times and accept staff instructions without question. We ask that you re-enforce the requirement for exemplary behaviour before your son/daughter takes part in this visit.
If you would like to discuss this visit or require further details please do not hesitate to contact me by telephone on 01787 375232 or email me at pbillimore@tgschool.net
Yours Faithfully,
Mr Paul Billimore
Head of History
