Y5 Residential to Alderford Lake
Y5 Residential to Alderford Lake
Dear Parents and Carers,
We are excited to confirm that our residential to Alderford Lake, in conjunction with getoutsidetheclassroom (https://getoutsidetheclassroom.co.uk/about-gotc) will take place on Thursday 19th to Friday 20thJune 2025. Activities during their stay will include: archery, rock climbing, paddle sports, bushcraft activities and preparing their evening meals. They will also experience sleeping under the stars in bell tents for the night.
As we will be taking a coach to Alderford Lake, the children will come into school as normal on the Thursday. We will then return on the Friday via coach, and we are due to be back at Tarporley Community Centre at approximately 7.30pm that evening. This means the children will enjoy two action-packed days at Alderford. The cost of the trip is £126. We are very grateful to the PTA for covering the cost of the coach transport and saving a significant amount per child.
If you would like your child to take part in this exciting residential, please pay the deposit of £16 by 30th November. This is available on the online payment system and you will receive an email and/or text to pay online. The remaining balance of £110 will need to be paid over two instalments, the first due by 1st April and the final balance by 31stMay. These can be made in several instalments over the coming weeks or as a single payment. Pupils in receipt of Pupil Premium will receive a reduction in the cost.
Please be aware that we will be hosting an information evening nearer to the time – date to be confirmed. We will let you know shortly when this will be.
This will give you and your child the opportunity to find out about some of the activities planned as well as giving you the opportunity to discuss any other queries which relate to the residential. Following this information evening, we will send out further information such as kit list etc.

We’re excited about this trip and it promises to be full of fun and adventure!
Thank you for your continued support.
Kind regards,
The Year 5 Team
