January 2016
Dear Parents/Carers and Students,
Welcome to the Activity Week Booklet for 2016
Activity Week is an important part of the calendar at Exmouth. For the week of 11th - 14th
July 2016, the normal College timetable will be suspended for Years 7, 8 and 9. Students
and staff will spend the week participating in a variety of activities, not usually available
during the normal College day. The week is an opportunity to increase the breadth and
depth of the education we offer and also to allow staff and students to work together in less
formal situations.
This booklet lists all the activities on offer this year, giving a brief description and
approximate cost for each one, as well as indicating whether it is College based, off site
and/or residential.
The duration of each activity is, in most cases, between two and four days and students
are asked to select one or more activity to cover all four days.
As last year, we will not be issuing medical consent forms (previously the yellow and green
SOE3’s). We will be using the information given on the Data Collection form. Please
ensure you inform the College of any changes in circumstance or medical conditions
throughout the year.
Attendance
We regard Activity Week as an important part of your son’s or daughter’s education and
expect normal attendance. Reasons for non-attendance will be required as usual as the
College has to provide details of all unauthorised absences to the Department for
Education. Every absence must be supported by a parental explanation which will be
authorised by the College if the reason is acceptable.
Yours sincerely
Mr G Allen
Deputy Principal
For general enquires regarding Activity Week please contact Mrs Stortenbeker
Telephone 01395 255621 or email [email protected]

Paying for Activities
All costs in the booklet are approximate and can change depending on the final number

We ask you to pay the amount stated for the chosen activity, although contributions are

cancelled. We have ensured that there is a broad range of activities, both in terms of
interest and cost, which will enable everyone to participate in a worthwhile activity.
In the case of the more expensive activities it may be possible to pay in instalments.
If you have any concerns regarding payment please contact Mr Allen.

your chosen activities.
Please note: Details of activities are correct at the time of going to print.
We reserve the right to withdraw or change activities if circumstances change,
or to withdraw students who persistently misbehave during the year.
