Year 6 Residential

Culmington Manor

A change to Manor Adventure.

A significant reason is the increasing costs. For one week at JCA there are 14 activities and evening entertainment Friday to Monday at Manor Adventure there are14 activities. It is smaller site so we have more personal service.(we would be a third of the children on site.) They have been recommended by other schools.

What will it cost?

• The cost this year is £ 205 (£340 if JCA

week)

• This is a lot of money however we believe

it to be value for money.

• There are options for spreading the costs

in a letter coming to you soon.

• Deposits are not refundable.
