The coach will leave school at approximately 9:30am and arrive at Dobroyd Castle around 10:15am.

The children do not need a bag on the coach as it is only a short journey to Todmorden. Their lunch will be provided when we get to the centre.

Your child should arrive at school at their normal start time. Children need to be dressed appropriately for the outdoors, as they will be walking from the coach park to the centre as their first activity. They will therefore need outdoor shoes and a warm/waterproof jacket to travel in.

We will be due to leave at approximately 2:00pm on the Sunday and arrive back at school at approximately 2:45pm -3:00pm.
