Dear Parent/Carer,

Carding Mill Valley Visit, Wednesday 21st March

I would like to invite your daughter on a visit to Carding Mill Valley on Wednesday 21st March, 2018.
This visit is to complement the current unit of work based on geographical skills and to help prepare
students for their independent investigation, worth 20% of the final A-level qualification.

The day will involve completing a number of fieldwork techniques in and around the stream that
runs through the valley and collecting data which could be used to support their independent
investigation.

We will be leaving school at 8.00am and aim to be back at school for 5pm. We will be travelling by
the school mini bus to the area and so there will be no cost incurred to the students.

Students should wear appropriate shoes for walking and bring a warm waterproof coat as we will be
out in the open countryside all day. It is also recommended that they bring a pair of wellington
boots as although the stream is only ankle deep they will need to be able to walk in it. Students
need to bring a packed lunch and can bring a small amount of money if they wish to purchase a
warm drink or gift from the National Trust shop at the end of the day.

We have also asked for your daughter’s mobile phone number. This is in order to contact her if she
were to become separated from the group, which is highly unlikely.

Please return the consent form by Friday 16th March.

Thank you for supporting your daughter in her A-Level studies. If you have any questions please do
not hesitate to contact me.

Yours sincerely,

Miss R Gager

Subject Co-ordinator for Geography
