Year 5 Trip to National Space Centre

As part of this term’s science curriculum work on Space, we have arranged for Year 5 to visit Leicester’s National Space Centre on Wednesday 22^nd March.

We will be leaving school at 8.30am in order to get there at a reasonable time so ask that children arrive at 8.15am that morning. We expect to arrive back at school around 4.10 – 4.15pm. If we encounter any significant delay on our return journey, we will do our best to keep you informed.

Your child will need to bring a packed lunch and plenty to drink for this trip – no glass bottles or fizzy drinks please. Those pupils entitled to free school meals will be given a packed lunch by our school meals provider before departure. Please also ensure that they wear school uniform and have a lightweight coat with them. We will not be visiting the souvenir shop so no additional spending money is required.

The cost of the trip is £21.20, which includes entrance fees, a “Tour of the Night Sky” experience, transport and insurance.  Payment for this trip should be made via your child’s ParentPay account prior to the date of the trip. Although costs for trips are voluntary, in reality the school has no other means of funding these trips. We hope that everyone can contribute to the trip in some way.

Please note that this visit is covered by the Annual Consent Form for Trips/visits & Medical Information. Please notify the school immediately if there are any changes to your contact/emergency contact details or medical information.
