Pupils will not bring mobile phones. This is so that children can settle well at Caythorpe Court, not lose expensive property and because they will simply be too busy! If there is a problem all staff will have their mobiles and the telephone at Caythorpe Court and will use it to contact you should the need arise.

Pocket Money

Children can bring a maximum of £10 in the envelope provided. The gift shop consists of a range of Caythorpe Court souvenirs. The children will be supported in the shop whilst they make their purchases. Please do not give pocket money to us until the day of the trip.

Preparing your child for the trip:

Encourage your child to become independent in bed-making, getting dressed/ready etc. Remind them positively that they are going to have to be grown up at Caythorpe Court. Answer any questions and concerns they may have and please do inform us so we can also discuss any worries your child may have. This trip is an exciting opportunity and a significant experience in your child’s time at Cranfield Academy! We want to make sure they have a fantastic time!

Whilst your child is on the trip:

Rest assured your child is in safe hands and is having a fantastic experience. The methods detailed below to keep in touch will be used and to help you rest assured. Your children will be having an invaluable experience and will be developing in confidence, maturity and capabilities.

Keep in Touch:
