Year 6 Transition: Residential Payments

Dear Parents/ Carers

As you await your house allocation letters, we felt it may be helpful to share with you the residential costs. Your house allocation letter will indicate whether your young person is attending camp on the first half of the week, or the second half.

Payment details for the Transition Camp are as follows:

The cost of the camp including all food and activities is £75. A deposit of £40 is required by Monday 22nd May, with the final balance paid by Monday 12th June 2022. If you already have a child at GTS, you can pay for transition via our online communication and payment system, Parentmail.

If you would like to pay by card and are not yet a user of GTS Parentmail system, please telephone the finance office on 01805 623531 ext. 229. If you wish to pay by cash, then this should be in an envelope marked for the attention of the Finance Office with your child's name and present school and handed into reception at Great Torrington School. If you have any concerns regarding this payment, please contact us at school.

We hope this is of some help and look forward to providing you with more information in due course.

All Year 6 Parents and Carers

Please be aware that you will receive your 'House Allocation' letters slightly later than planned, we will endeavor to inform you of your house and the all important camp details by the beginning of May, if not before.

GTS Transition Week 2023 will run from Monday 26th June - Thursday 29th June 2023 (inclusive). During this time pupils will experience two days at GTS, having a taste of lessons and the day-to-day life as a GTS pupil. They will also have two days at camp with one overnight stay. This year we will be camping at 'Rock and Rapid', South Molton with further details to follow.

Should you have any questions or concerns at any point of your child's transition to GTS please do not hesitate to contact us hwhiterod@gts.devon.sch.uk
