Please note – if you have a group of students attending please use the Cover Sheet available on our website, this
means you only have to sign one form on behalf of all of your students (they are still required to fill in an
application form each). It also allows us to have information about booking transport if required. There is more
information about how we prioritise students on our website and cover sheet.
We do not require staff to accompany Year 12/13 students – though you are welcome to attend if you wish.
Please return all application forms with this cover sheet by Friday 9th January 2015 to:
