Local Area Visit Consent Form

Below is a copy of the text sent home on the Local Area Consent form. You can download a copy of the letter and the form below.

Dear Parents / Carers,

Throughout the year, the school organises a number of routine visits and journeys away from the school site as part of the children’s learning experiences. Such visits take place during the school day and tend to be local to the school area.                  

We always ensure that there are plenty of adults to accompany the class on such occasions, staff plan carefully so that the children are safely supervised. Visits and journeys during the school day provide experiences for their learning and present no significant risk to the health and safety of the pupils. All visits and journeys away from the school site are approved by the Headteacher. The purpose of this consent form is to enable parents/guardians of children at the school to give their permission for their child to participate in frequent, local, curriculum-focused visits and journeys away from the school during the school day. This consent will allow your child to leave the school site for a local visit on several occasions without having to sign a separate consent form for each visit. Examples of such visits are: Visits to the local parks, shops, schools, canal, local area walks and other local outdoor sites e.g. star city.

Consent requested here is only for local visits. Any visit that involves adventure activities (for example, climbing or water sports), is residential, is a school led visit to a site with specific environmental hazards (for example, rivers or coastal fieldwork), or is at a distance beyond the school locality, will require specific Informed Consent from parents. In the case that we require additional consent, a further form will be sent to you for completion.

Please ensure that medical or other personal information currently provided by you and held by the school, with respect to your son/daughter, is kept up to date. Please complete the details overleaf and return to the school office.

Thank you

Miss Shryane

Head Teacher
