Year 4 visit to Hazard Alley

To complement our PSHE curriculum, Year 4 will be visiting Hazard Alley at The National Safety Centre in Milton Keynes on Wednesday 3rd July 2024. During our visit, the children will be immersed safely in an everyday world of risks and dangers in the life-size realistic safety village. The children will be led through twelve everyday scenarios looking for hazards and giving them skills and strategies to keep themselves safe.

Children should wear school uniform and should bring items suitable for the weather on the day (e.g. a raincoat or sun hat). They will require a packed lunch and a water bottle. This is a full day visit, to make the most of the day we are looking to leave school at 8.30am and return for 3pm. Please can the children arrive promptly at 8:15am to ensure they are registered swiftly in the classroom for the 8.30am departure.

I'm sure that you will agree, this will be an excellent opportunity to introduce the children to risks, dangers and hazards in a totally safe and fun learning environment. As part of our pre-visit documentation, we have been asked by the organisers to make them aware of any situations which may trigger any past events for the children (for example a car accident or fire). If you do feel there is anything that I should be made aware of, please email me in the strictest confidence via the school office.

We are requesting a voluntary contribution of £31 per child to cover the cost of the session and coach hire. Please make your payment using School Gateway, where you will also be asked to confirm your consent, by Wednesday 19th June 2024.

Whilst this payment is voluntary, we will not be able to run the trip unless the cost is covered. If you have difficulty making this payment please contact the office in confidence in advance.

We hope all the children will have an enjoyable and memorable day.

Mrs Bowden-Williams
