Tuesday 15th Wednesday 16th & Thursday 17th July 2025

This year's Activity Week Booklet can be downloaded at the bottom of this page and will look slightly different to previous years. We are currently unable to access our coach park from Withycombe Village Road due to the weight limit on the bridge on Moorfield Road being reduced.

We are still committed to ensuring students get the fantastic Activity Week experience, however, we have had to reduce the number of trips that are on offer to reduce the number of coaches needed. We have used the feedback from students to select the best and most popular venues and feel confident that we have created a fantastic choice of activities at great value for money.

This year we are also excited to be working with The Big Step and Bicton College! The Big Step run our summer transition programme and have recently created a schools enrichment week which we are fortunate enough to pilot.

Each year group will get to experience the brand-new CSI Investigation, Extreme Scavenger Hunt, Escape Rooms, Glow in the Dark Dodgeball plus Mystery Activities during the College Activity Day. The College will be covering the cost of The Big Step day for all students.

The Activity Week online choices form will be emailed in January for you to make your choices and allocation letters are sent in March at which time a deposit will become due. No payment will be required until you receive an allocation letter. Each activity has limited places and ballots will be drawn where an activity is oversubscribed.

Students will choose their activity from their year group choices.

 

Residential Trips

There are some residential trips taking place during Activity Week and the flyer detailing these can also be downloaded at the bottom of this page. If your child wishes to participate in one of these, please register your interest via the link emailed to parents and carers by 7^th January 2025.

If the trip is oversubscribed, we will place names in a ballot and allocate accordingly and you will be advised if you have or haven’t been successful, at which point a non-refundable deposit of £100 (£50 for South Hams Coastal Adventure) will be payable via squid by 20^th January. If unsuccessful, you will be able to choose from the KS3 Activity Week booklet via the online choices form that will be emailed to parents and carers in January.

 

Off Site Consent

We will be using the information given on the student Data Collection Form (DCF) for medical consent.

To have permission to go offsite a student needs to have returned a DCF for their current school year 2024/25, or the one directly previous ie 2023/24. If this is not held by the College you will be contacted directly.

During the year please ensure you inform the College of any changes in circumstances or medical conditions.

Attendance

We regard Activity Week as an important part of your child's education and expect normal attendance. Reasons for non-attendance need to be submitted using an absence request form (S2), as the College has to provide details of all unauthorised absences to the Department for Education.

We are unable to authorise absence during Activity Week except for exceptional circumstances.
