A reminder that students in our new Year 7 have a kit list for their Outward Bound adventure which begins on Tuesday 30th August. Students need to be arrive at school between 8.00am and 8.25am. The coach will depart later that morning.
Student must bring £10 deposit with them on the morning which will be handed back to them at the end of their adventure if there is no loss or damage to equipment.
Any medication for students must be in the original box, clearly labelled with your child’s name and details of regularity of administration and dose. This includes:
- Inhalers
- Epipens
- Travel sickness pills
- Painkillers
- Antihistamines
Please get in contact with [email protected] if your child will be bringing medication and we can provide you with a self-administration or permission to administer form.
Specialist equipment such as walking boots and waterproofs will be provided by the centre. The kit list for students is listed below. Please ensure that your child has all of these items.
If you are having problems sourcing these please get in touch with our office via [email protected] . Older clothes are far better for the week as they will get wet and or muddy.
- 2 bin bags – to store wet and dirty clothes
- 1 pair of trainers for getting wet – these trainers will definitely get wet so it is important that you have a second pair.
- Another pair of trainers to stay dry for day to day wear – these are likely to get muddy so preferably not new.
- 3 sweatshirts, jumpers, hoodies or fleeces – Fleeces are ideal as they dry quickly but any of the other items are a good substitute. You should include at least one warmer fleece for your expedition.
- 3 pairs of trousers – Lightweight trousers (not denim) such as walking trousers, leggings or tracksuit bottoms.
- 3 T-shirts – Aim for tops that cover shoulders from the sun.
- 1 long-sleeved base layer/top
- 1 pair of shorts – Not denim
- 1 pair of nightwear/pyjamas
- 1 set of casual clothes for around the centre
- 7 sets of underwear including socks – This is a minimum number. Trainer socks aren’t recommended as they may cause blisters.
- At least 2 pairs of thick walking socks
- Sunhat, sunglasses, suncream – don’t bring expensive sunglasses, suncream needs to be at least factor 30.
- 1 set of warm hat and gloves
- At least 1 towel – Quick drying microfibre towels are great. You will need a towel for showering and on activities, so bring at least one.
- Watch with alarm if possible
- 1 set of swimwear plus t-shirt and shorts for use in water
- Toiletries – including soap, toothbrush and toothpaste, blister kit, plasters, insect repellent, lip salve, hand sanitiser, wet wipes, talcum powder (for your feet), etc.
