One week to go! Key Information:

Packing:

• Children must have at least 2 pairs of shoes (one indoor, one outdoor), they will not be allowed to wear their outdoor shoes inside due to dirt. Indoor shoes cannot be slippers due to slippy flooring.
• On the last night, we have our disco! Children may pack party clothes to get changed into for the disco!
• Showers- we will have showers on night two before the disco, please make sure your child has everything they need for a shower including a bath towel.
• There is a tuck shop and gift shop should you wish to send your child with money (max £20).

Activities:

Your child has been told which activity they are doing, clothing requirements for these are below:

• ART - overall or old shirt to cover clothing
• DANCE - black t-shirt and black joggers/leggings
• DRAMA - loose, comfy clothes
• MUSIC - you are welcome to bring an instrument.

Medication:

All children have been given a blank medication form- this only needs completing should you require your child to bring prescribed medication with them. Medical forms should be returned to Mr Hyde ASAP before the trip.

All medication must be in a named bag and given to Mr Hyde on the morning of the residential before departing school. 

Ingestre Arts at Ingestre Hall is recognised as a national centre of excellence where children and young people are inspired to achieve their full potential in an aspirational environment, and where creativity and sense of self is valued and encouraged to blossom.

Children have the chance to imagine, create, and explore a topic... it’s all about trying new things and creating something original.

It’s for everybody. 

Every year we take Y4 and Y5 to experience 2 nights away from home at the residential.  From 2019 we opened it up to Y6 as well because the children who had visited, had enjoyed their experience so much, that they wanted to go again!

Children get to choose a medium which they would like to specialise in whilst they are at the hall.  It could be music, art, dance, drama etc.  Once there, they spend the time creating a final piece which will be showcased to the rest of the group on the final day before leaving.

The facilities there are second to none and the children have access to the most up-to-date equipment, guided by a specialist in that field.

Not only will the children experience high quality teaching and learning while at Ingestre, they will be staying in a listed building!  Every room in the building is open for the children to explore, chill out, converse and enjoy.  As well as having spacious dormitories to sleep in at night.
