On the first day (Wednesday 25th June), the computer suite will be open from 8:30 am for children to leave luggage. Children must then go to their normal class at 8:45 am. Children will be registered in their classroom and then brought to the main hall.
At 9:30 am, children will start to make their way to board the coach, please DO NOT wait inside the school's main reception area, as it is busy in the morning.
What time will my child need to be in school?
Your child will need to be in school as normal. We aim to leave between 9:40 - 9:45, this all depends on all parents bringing their children on time.

In the morning, from 8:30 am, your child will need to bring their baggage to the computer suite, near the main reception, teachers will be waiting to support you. The children will then be registered in their normal classrooms.
Does my child need to wear a school uniform on the first day?
Children will not be required to wear school uniform. Please ensure that they are wearing suitable clothes and footwear as the first session will begin as soon as they arrive.
What time will my child return back to school on Wednesday 3rd June?
We plan to leave Laches Wood at 1:30 pm, typically this would mean that we will be back in school by 2:30. If there are delays, the school will either text or send a message on Schoolcomms, please do not call the school asking for arrival times.
Will my child need any money?
Your child will have been given a form to complete with items that they would like to buy. We recommend a maximum spend of £5. Only items that have been ordered will be available for children.
What will the bedrooms be like?
There will be a split area for boys and girls separated by a partition. Teachers will be within the same floor as the children in case of emergencies. All rooms have security on doors and staff will be alerted during the night if a child ventures out of their room.
Can my child take games and toys?
We kindly request that children do not bring with them any type of electronic device as school insurance will not cover any loss or damage to their equipment. If they would like to bring a reading book then this would be suitable, there will be lots of activities available for your child during their stay.
