Wootey goes to the Beach!
Friday 4th July 2025
Dear Parent/Carers,
RE: Wootey goes to the beach!
Our whole school visit to West Wittering beach is next Thursday July 10th July.
In order to visit the beach, we are asking for a voluntary parental contribution of just £12. Thank you to all the parents who have contributed so far. Please support the school with your contribution as we can’t run this fantastic experience without them. You can pay for your child’s contribution via Scopay. Please speak to Mrs Statham or Miss Gard who are happy to help you.
On the day the following exciting activities are planned:
- Kite Flying and beach sculpture making
- Shoreline Paddle and Dune nature walk
- Cricket/Frisbee games
- Sandcastle Competition
Please note the children will not be swimming in the sea. Children will be allowed to paddle at the shoreline in the lifeguard observed area only. This activity has been carefully risk assessed and approved by the local authority.
The children will need to wear the following items:
- T-shirt, swimming shorts or swimming costume, trainers or flip flops, a hoody or light jumper and a hat or cap. Please note bikini swimwear is not deemed appropriate for this visit.
The children will also need to bring the following items:
- A rucksack containing a change of shorts, a towel, sun tan lotion, a packed lunch and a bucket and spade. Please make sure all items are labelled with your child’s name.
If there is wet weather the visit will still go ahead. We will issue a wet weather kit list nearer the day if the forecast suggests rain. Please also note that the coaches may return slightly later at 3:30pm so home time may be delayed.
We can’t wait to go!
Yours sincerely,
Mr Tim O’Brien
Headteacher
