Dear Parents/Carers, 28th September 2023
A trip to the Urdd Centre at Llangrannog will take place next year from Monday 17th – Wednesday 19th July 2023. Every child in Years 7, 8, 9 & 10 will be given the opportunity to take part.
The trip will be a fantastic opportunity for pupils to develop their Welsh language skills, and to take part in many activities that are not available to them locally. However, this trip is not required by an External Examination Syllabus, or as part of any statutory requirements of the National Curriculum.
The activities your child will take part in will include skiing, trampolining, horse riding, high-rise ropes course, zip wire, quad biking, go-kart racing and swimming. The centre also has a gymnasium, disco, basketball court and floodlit football pitch. The centre has fantastic accommodation and sports facilities. Visit the centre at www.urdd.org/llangrannog for full details and pictures.
The cost of the trip will be £175 which will cover the following:
● Return coach fare to Llangrannog
● 2 nights accommodation
● 4 meals each day
● All activities, supervision and equipment.
Places are limited, so will be offered on a first come, first served basis. The deposit of £35 can be paid through ParentPay under the heading ‘Llangrannog 2023’ (the school no longer accepts cash payments – any problems please contact grees-thomas@cathays.cardiff.sch.uk). All consent and medical information can also be provided on Parent Pay. The balance can be paid in instalments, again using ParentPay. The deposits, once received by Llangrannog, are non-refundable. Please get in touch if you have any issues with payment that you would like to make us aware of.
Due to the nature of activities at the centre, we must be confident that children will follow Health and Safety instructions without question. Should, during the year, your child behaves in a way that would lead us to believe that they may present a significant risk in this respect; he or she may be withdrawn from the trip. In these circumstances, all monies, other than the deposit, would be refundable.
Should you have any queries please feel free to contact me at school on 029 2054 4400.
Yours sincerely,
Miss N Davies
