Y6 Oxford Castle Trip

​Dear Parents/Guardians,

We are writing to inform you of an upcoming Year 6 trip that will provide your child with the opportunity to visit Oxford Castle and Prison. This trip is scheduled for Thursday 22nd May, 2025.
The main objective of the trip is to explore the topic of Crime and Punishment in History through workshops and a tour of the castle and its prison. The activities will be led by staff at Oxford Castle, assisted by IVJS staff.
Pupils will need to arrive at school by 8:30am and they will travel to Oxford Castle by coach. They will leave Oxford Castle 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 castle and may need a coat depending on the weather.
To keep costs down for parents the school will fund the cost of the coach, £585 which means the cost of the trip per pupil will be £13 to cover entrance to the castle and the workshops. If you are happy to contribute, please make a payment on your School Money account.
Please confirm whether you would be happy for your child to participate in this trip by completing the form below on the paper copy of this letter or email permission to [email protected]. Should you have any questions or concerns about the trip, please do not hesitate to contact the Year 6 team.
Yours sincerely,
 
Miss Short and Mrs Bowden
