Dear Parent/Carers

Year 12 ‘Love through the Ages’ educational programme on Monday 13th November 2017

The English department are pleased to inform year 12 students of an exciting ‘Love Through the Ages’ educational programme aimed at enlightening students and helping them to achieve top grades. This inspirational study day will provide comprehensive support for all students tackling the new A-level. In five outstanding sessions, speakers will enthuse, inform and entertain with a diverse range of talks on poetry, prose and drama. This programme will give students the vital information, insights and confidence to achieve maximum examination success. The day will be chaired by former Chief Examiner Stella Canwell MBE and a number of other experts in the field of English literature will be present. This day is aimed squarely at helping students to meet the assessment criteria for AQA English literature A-Level, as well as, of course, broadening their horizons, and their knowledge and appreciation of literature.

This is a fabulous opportunity for your daughter. We have taken students to similar seminars in previous years and they have always proved to be a fascinating day out, as well as a powerful tool to help students develop the thinking skills that they need to help them attain top grades at A-Level. We would encourage all students to attend.

The visit will take place at Friend’s House, Euston, London on Monday 13th November 2017. Tickets will cost £23.50 and students will need to make sure that they have enough money on their oyster card or purchase a travel card on the day of travel. We recommend £10.00 to cover travel costs as well as a packed lunch. There will not be a member of staff accompanying the students and so they will be expected to get to and from the venue themselves and maintain the high standards we would expect of any of our students on a school trip. As the day begins at 11am, students should allow appropriate time to arrive at the university at 10.45m. The day ends at 16.00pm. Online payments are available from Monday 25th September.

Cost £23.50 Please make your non refundable payment online via the link on the School’s website www.chsg.org.uk by clicking on the large £ sign on the home page to link you to the payment site www.parentpay.com. Online payments are available from Monday 25th September

If you are unable to pay online, please contact the Finance Office so that a unique Payment Barcode can be issued for you to pay cash at a local Paypoint (www.paypoint.com) for this trip.

Opportunities to hear such excellent speakers are rare and we would urge your daughter to take advantage of what will be an excellent opportunity to immerse herself in the literature of ‘Love Through the Ages’. If you would like your daughter to attend this trip, please pay for the trip online, no later than 6th October 2017. Please ask your daughter to return the reply slip below to me, no later than Monday 30th October 2017.

Yours faithfully
