Y5 Science Oxford Trip 2025

Dear Parents/Guardians, 

We are writing to inform you of an upcoming Year 5 trip that will provide your child with the opportunity to visit Science Oxford as part of the science curriculum. This trip is scheduled for Friday 23rd May 2025.
The main objective of the trip is to explore different working scientifically skills through workshops and different activities, which will support the children’s learning of science at school and deepen their knowledge and understanding. The activities will be led by staff at Science Oxford, assisted by IVJS staff.
Pupils will need to arrive at school by 8:15am and they will travel to Science Oxford by coach. They will leave Science Oxford at 2:15pm and should be back at school for collection at 3:15pm. The children will be wearing their school uniform and will need to bring a packed lunch. Please be aware the children will be required to walk for 5-10 minutes from where the coach will drop us off to the Science Centre and may need a coat depending on the weather.
We are thrilled to be able to offer this trip to all Year 5 pupils and are in the fortunate position that Science Oxford will be covering the cost of our visit, which we are very grateful for. Therefore, our only cost is the coach. The cost of the coach is approximately £10 per child, if you can contribute towards our travel costs, you can do so via school money and we would be very grateful.
Please confirm whether you would be happy for your child to participate in this trip by either completing the paper copy of the slip sent home with the pupils or emailing [email protected]. Should you have any questions or concerns about the trip, please do not hesitate to contact the Year 5 team.
Yours sincerely,
​
Miss Fletcher and Ms Wick
