Dear parents/guardians,

ROBINWOOD TRIP – Monday 22nd March- 24th March 2021

We are pleased to inform you that we managed to re-organise our planned residential trip to Dobroyd Castle, Robinwood Centre

for children in Year 6. We have been assured that Robinwood have everything in place to make this a safe and memorable

experience for children.

Dobroyd Castle is located on the outskirts of Todmorden. More information can be found on www.robinwood.co.uk. Click on

Dobroyd Castle. The covered sports hall provides some fantastic indoor activities including climbing walls, crate challenge, trapeze

and archery and in a separate building there is an artificial caving area. There are three different themed problems solving areas;

Quest, the Dungeon and Piranha Pool. In the wooded areas of the grounds there are zip wires, giant swings, an obstacle course

and a night line. The children typically do 15 activities during the 3 days. The availability of these activities may be reduced due

to Covid-19 restrictions that could be place.

Due to the change in date we have secured a reduced price of £191.33(based on £183.00 for the trip and £8.33 (for transport)

per child. However this cost may change slightly if there is a reduction in numbers. We need to give a definite number to
