Year 6 Hilltop Residential - September 2025
Yr 6 Hilltop Residential – September 2025
Dear families,
We are pleased to announce that we will again be running a yr6 residential next year. We will be taking the children to Hilltop Activity Centre and will be sleeping on site for two nights.
The trip will run from Wednesday 24th September – Friday 26th September. The cost of the trip will be £250.
To help parents with costs we will be subsidising the trip by covering the cost of transport. We have decided to hold the trip earlier in the academic year as we are convinced that the benefits the children will gain in their personal development will have an extremely positive impact on the rest of the school year.
Because of the positive impact we know these trips have on the children’s development, we would like to encourage every member of the year group to attend. It is a lot of money but having visited the centre for the last two years we believe this is excellent value. However, we do appreciate that financially things are tight for many people at the moment so we have applied to Anguish Educational Foundation for help with assisting any families and hope to hear back shortly.
If your household has a low income, (for example, you may be receiving benefits or on low wages), you may be eligible for a grant which could cover most of the cost of the trip from Anguish’s Educational Foundation. Contact them on 01603-621023 or e-mail: info@norwichcharitabletrusts.org.uk as soon as possible. Once the trip has been approved by Anguish we will inform families. You will then be able to contact Anguish by telephone or email who will send you a link to open an account with them and you will then be able to apply for funding online.
The total cost of £250 will be fully inclusive of accommodation, food and activities. The school will cover the cost of transport. There will be a non refundable deposit of £50.
Once you have confirmed your child's place we will set up a payment schedule as detailed below,
28th February - £50 non refundable deposit
30th April - £40
30th May - £40
30th June - £40
31st July - £40

Kind regards
The year 6 team
