Memo to Teachers about Forthcoming Theatre Trip
It is essential that we plan ahead. The school party will leave for the
station at 11.45 a.m. in
the morning not 12.45. This was an unexpected mistake.
Although the theatre will be
filled to capacity - as our visit comes at a time
when pupils from language schools visit London - the theatre manager has said
that as we are
invited
guests, they will
add
an additional row of chairs for our students. This is an
unexpected surprise.
We have made a
definite decision to travel by train but at the
present time, we are not
sure how we will make our way from the station to the theatre, but we are in
close proximity to the
bus stop and so might make use of the local bus service. We will be
merging together our two
groups before continuing our journey.
During
the course of the interval, as an
added bonus, the theatre has promised to provide
refreshments and each child will be given
a free gift of a programme at the end of the
performance. When the play has
completely finished we shall be leaving from the King Street
entrance (in case any parents wish to meet their children). It is
absolutely essential that
parents let the school know if this is to be the case. Looking at the
past history of these
visits, we expect them to be
few
in number.
If the play runs late we shall have a
difficult dilemma as the
last train back is at 11.45pm. The
end result might be that we will miss this train but as the
train has been
estimated
to be roughly ten pounds cheaper than hiring a coach,
the final outcome; if we
changed our mode of travel would be an increase in parents’ contribution to the
cost of the trip. Pupils
might
possibly be back at school earlier than suggested but we will
postpone until later
telling parents this information.
The theatre trip will be
repeated again next year if it is successful and it
still remains a
possibility that this could become an annual trip.
