All meds to be handed to Mrs Forsyth and should be labelled with dose and frequency. Homesick Children can become homesick but staff are trained to support them & from experience the other children rally around too. In extreme cases we will contact home although experience has shown us that this is rarely necessary.

  15. FAQ’s Photographs Please leave cameras at home. In our experience children stop using them as they are busy taking part. Staff will take photos and these will be shared on our return with children who wish them. Fear of heights / water /darkness All activities are challenge by choice. Children are supported to ‘have a go’ but never forced to participate. If your child would benefit from a nightlight then please bring one.

If you are unable to supply a sleeping bag let the school know as we may be able to help. Teddy/Mascot All children will be asked to bring a teddy/mascot with them.
