Enrichment Week 2022

Dear Parent/Carer,

I wanted to write to you to give you as much notice as possible regarding the arrangements for Enrichment Week. The dates are set as the 4th to the 8th July 2022 and the activities information are all online on the College website please follow this link. http://sjhcsc.co.uk/enrichment/enrichment-week/enrichment-week-activities. This year we are moving to an online booking system. We will be using a survey to take the bookings which is available on the College website and by following this link Enrichment week booking survey

Activities can be booked from the end of the school day on 26th November 2021 and will close on 5th December 2021

Based on the feedback from previous years I have made a few changes to the way in which the week operates which I have outlined below.

1. Students will be asked to pick 3 activities in rank order.

2. Places will be allocated on a first come basis.

3. The initial £20 deposit will be required by 2nd January 2022 to secure your space. All payments must be made via Parent Pay which will be allocated against your child once their activity has been confirmed and will be available from 13th December.

4. Letters will be emailed to parents in December to confirm your son/ daughter’s activity. This could be a nice Christmas present for your child.

5. Any student who fails to choose or pay for an activity will remain at College all week, the programme of which will be decided for them.

6. To ease the financial pressure, I have:

allocated all students on FSM a £20 Enrichment Week voucher to offset cost of one of their activities, this will be deducted from your Parent Pay account;
given you as much notice as possible to save;
set up students Praise Points accounts to allow them to use their Praise Points to buy vouchers which can be redeemed against the cost of the trips;
arranged a Christmas voucher purchasing scheme (please contact Mrs Evans to order a voucher), where relatives / friends can buy a voucher to contribute towards enrichment week costs.

7. 50% of all trips will need to be paid by 28th February 2022 and final payments will be due by 22nd April 2022 via Parent Pay to enable us to get best value for money on early bookings in order to keep the costs down.

8. In May, the trip leader will write to you again with the final arrangements for the respective activity and where a residential is involved hold a parents meeting.

Should you have any questions, regarding payment please contact Mrs Evans on 01752 201020 or by email b.evans@sjhcsc.co.uk . I am looking forward to offering another amazing and action packed week.

Yours faithfully

Michael Carpenter
