Dear Headteacher,
As a result of the partnership between KidZania London and the London Borough of Hammersmith
and Fulham we are pleased to inform you of the free ticket allocation for the academic year
2015/16.
Please read the information below carefully and feel free to contact KidZania London regarding
operational matters such as bookings, re-visits, and Hammersmith and Fulham Council regarding
the ticket allocations. Once you have booked your school visit you will automatically receive further
information about the visit itself, preparation, learning resources and much more.
So here we go …
What is this all about?
There is an agreement between the London Borough of Hammersmith & Fulham (LBHF)
and KidZania London that we will make available 7,333 tickets annually to schools (‘Section
106 Agreement’). This ticket allocation works on an academic year basis and is to be
reviewed in June of each year. All correspondence with schools regarding the agreement
will be sent jointly between KidZania London and the London Borough of Hammersmith and
Fulham.
How many tickets does my school get?
There is a proportional allocation to each school: by formula each pupil aged 4 to 14
equates to 0.35 ticket – so a school with 100 children is entitled to 35 tickets (adult tickets
are free in addition to this). In addition there is an adjustment in favour of those schools in
excess of 50% Pupil Premium.
Our aim is to ensure that those children who would benefit most from the opportunity will
always be included. Bookings are for school visits only and the expectation is that there will
be one visit per school. An additional ‘school’ is created for the most vulnerable children
(300 tickets) and jointly coordinated by LBHF and KidZania London.
The annual ticket allocation will be made public in the light of transparency – uptake will
also be publically available. Please find attached the allocation for all LBHF schools.
When can I use our tickets?
January, February, March and May 2016: Monday to Friday, term-time only. All bookings
must be made by 1st March 2016.
Where do I get our tickets from?
Bookings are to be made through the KidZania Contact Centre (0330 131 3331), quoting:
LBH&F + School Name. We strongly recommend that schools arrange a pre-visit in order to
prepare for the KidZania experience.
Who do I contact if I have any questions?
The KidZania Contact Centre (0330 131 3331) or Kimmy Bryceland, School Sales Manager
(0203 815 3894).
Your LBHF contact is: Isha Degun, Executive Support Officer (020 7745 6465).
Why?
“As soon as we got off the coach I saw this big building. But as soon as I entered the real
KidZania I was lost for words. I thought the sky was real, I thought all of it was real!” (Joe,
age 12)
and because …
“Children can only aspire to what they know exists …”
We look forward to welcoming you to KidZana London in the not too distant future.
