What is the trip all about?
At Warden Park we are committed to providing opportunities for students to access learning beyond the classroom. Experiences like this help to widen their cultural capital and of course provide opportunities to have fun! As part of our curriculum, all Year 8 students will attend a visit to Hampton Court Palace in either November or December. This trip differs from those trips advertised as part of Character Enrichment Week in July, where students opt in to certain trips of their choice; it is expected that all students will attend. This is similar to the 'Matilda : The Musical' trip that was run for Year 7 last academic year. The year group will be split in to three groups. Each group will attend on a different day. Where possible, students will attend with students from their tutor group.

Character for learning: Please note that if students are to go on a school trip they must be presenting the best of our values consistently. If a student has a CfL score of above 2.7 at the time of the trip, they will be unable to attend the trip and will not be eligible for a refund as final balances will have been paid to the providers. Please be assured that as a school we always balance the need for the consistent implementation of our CFL grade, with the need to make reasonable adjustments to meet the individual needs and circumstances of all students.

Medical Needs: Parents/carers of children with long-term medical needs are encouraged to have a discussion with the Medical Welfare Officer prior to booking onto a residential trip. The Academy accepts no liability in the event that medical conditions/medication are not declared/re-declared at the point of booking. Parents/carers should make no assumptions that medical information has been shared from previously attended schools or third parties, e.g. the school nursing team.
Parents/carers are reminded that if your child has a medical condition which requires medication, they should bring this with them on the trip. For example, those pupils with asthma and/or severe allergies, please make sure they have their inhalers and/or adrenaline auto-injectors with them, along with any antihistamines they may need.
