trips which is entirely voluntary.&nbsp; There is no obligation for you to submit payment for any trips that take place during the school day; however, should we be unable to cover the full cost, insufficient funds may result in the visit being unable to go ahead. If we have already received donations prior to the cancellation of the trip, please be assured that these will be refunded to parents in full.&nbsp; All donations are greatly appreciated and mean that if we can cover the full cost, we will be able to enhance your child\u2019s learning in a way that we believe to be most beneficial. For trips with not enough financial contribution will need to be cancelled, school funds do not extend to enhancement, this are organised in the belief that parents will support our efforts.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Year 5<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Lickey Hills Hike<\/strong> (Autumn term 1) approx. cost \u00a35 *<em>Parent Volunteers required, please contact hr@alvechurch.worcs.sch.uk*<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Christmas Trip<\/strong> (Autumn term 2) approx. cost \u00a320<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Activities Week<\/strong> (W\/C 6th July 2026)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Year 6<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Twycross Zoo<\/strong> (Autumn 1) approx. cost \u00a320<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Christmas Trip<\/strong> (Autumn 2) approx. cost \u00a320<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Activities Week<\/strong> (W\/C 6th July 2026)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Year 7<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Christmas Trip<\/strong> (Autumn 2) approx. cost \u00a310<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Activities Week<\/strong> (W\/C 6th July 2026)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Year 8<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Christmas Trip<\/strong> (Autumn 2) approx. cost \u00a320<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Leavers Hoodies<\/strong> (ordered via Orchard Clothing &#8211; details tbc)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Prom Ticket<\/strong> approx. cost \u00a312<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Activities Week<\/strong> (W\/C 6th July 2026)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Whole School Additional Events<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Wear a Hat Day<\/strong> ~ March (Suggested min \u00a32 donation for Brain Tumour Research)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Spring and Summer Term<\/strong> ~ Fortnightly Friday \u00a31.50 PTA Ice Cream Sales<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Walkathon Fundraiser<\/strong> ~ Sponsored walk<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Dates for your diary Please visit your child&#8217;s ARBOR record for their personalised calendar.
