Dear Parent/Carer,

After pricing up what the cost would be to take the children to the Pantomime in Aldershot (coach cost and entry price), the cost per child would have exceeded £20.00, which we really feel is too much to ask for in this current financial climate.

So, with that in mind, we have decided that if we can’t go to the pantomime, then the pantomime can come to us!!! Oh no it can’t oh yes it can!

We have booked a company called Stage Ed to come to school on the 5th December 2023 to perform the wonderful “Aladdin”.

We will be having two shows, one in the morning for KS1 (Reception to Year 2) and then in the afternoon for KS2 (Years 3 to 6).

The cost for this production will be £3.00 per child, which can be paid via your Scopay account under trips/events, pantomime 2023. Alternatively, you can pay in the school office with cash or card.

This is a voluntary contribution to cover the cost to the school for your son/daughter taking part. Please note trips/visits are non-profit events the cost to the parents is only the cost of the trip/visit. The school confirms that the contribution represents our estimate of the cost providing this activity is shared equally amongst all pupils. As the resources of the school are limited, the visit will not take place if there are insufficient contributions to cover the cost of the visit.

Any family in financial hardship should contact me directly to discuss the matter, kind regards,

Mrs Curtis
