Year 8 EnrichmentWeek
Monday 20th June – Friday 24th June
Dear Parent / Guardian,
I am writing to advise you of our planned Enrichment Week for boys in Year 8 which takes place in June. The week is mostly made
up of curriculum based activities that we would otherwise do throughout the year. Your son will spend a day with various
departments getting involved with extension work related to that subject area. At this stage I wish to outline the planned week
and request that you complete the attached consent form and make a payment that will allow us to make the necessary
arrangements. The cost is minimal as we wish to keep it as low as possible.
