Dear Parents/Carers
We have arranged to take the Year 5 children on a local walk around Hemel Hempstead Town. This will take place on Friday 31 January 2020.
The guided walk around the local area will include Gadebridge Park, St Marys Church, Old Town High Street, Marlowes and the Water Gardens as part of our topic on Hemel Hempstead. The children will be leaving school at approximately 9:15am and will return before the end of the school day.
As the weather is often unpredictable (weather forecast pending!), please ensure that you send your child into school with appropriate clothing e.g. a waterproof/warm coat, sensible shoes for walking.
All children must be dressed in school uniform.
The children will need a packed lunch on the day. However, they can bring their lunches in a rucksack, as this will be easier to carry around all day. NO GLASS BOTTLES, CANS OR SWEETS PLEASE.
Those children who receive Free School Meals, can pre-order one via the School Gateway app.
Please can you give parental consent via School Gateway. If you require assistance downloading the app, please see below or pop into the office.
If you have any queries or concerns, please do not hesitate to contact your child’s class teacher.
Yours sincerely
Mrs Cole Mrs Larner Miss Featherstone

Dear Parents/Carers
We have arranged to take the Year 6 children on a trip to Bletchley Park. This will take place on Tuesday 21 January 2020.
In class, we are learning about World War 2 and this trip will focus on the code breaking work that took place at Bletchley during the war.
All children must be dressed in school uniform.
The coach will be leaving the school at 9.15am and aims to return at approx. 3.00pm. We will keep you fully informed regarding the return journey.
The children will need a packed lunch on the day. However, they can bring their lunches in a rucksack, as this will be easier to carry around all day. NO GLASS BOTTLES, CANS OR SWEETS PLEASE.
Those children who receive Free School Meals, can pre-order one via the School Gateway app.
The cost of this trip will be £15.00 per child, this can be paid in x2 instalments – this covers the cost of entrance and the coach. Please note that the school have subsidised this trip to help with the cost.
This can be paid online via the School Gateway payment system along with giving parental consent. If you require assistance downloading the app, please see below or pop into the office.
Cash or cheque are also accepted. Please can cheques be made payable to Galley Hill Primary School.
** Please can we make you aware that when trips are arranged, the cost is based on the total number of children in that particular year/class group. Depending on venue, we usually have to pay in advance. If for any reason your child is not in school on the day of the trip, unfortunately, we will not be able to refund you as payment to the venue and transport will have already been paid for.
Thank you for your support in this matter.
** Unfortunately, if insufficient funds are received, the trip will have to be cancelled. If you have any queries or difficulties paying this, please contact the office.
Yours sincerely
