13. Trips Planned this term Please note: - Across the course of the school year, the school intends to increase the amount of trips for the children. Whilst the school will try to ensure that some of these trips will be free, some inevitably will require a parent contribution. The school is able to subsidise some of these trips, however, without your support we may have to reduce these down. Children will be given opportunities to carry out fundraising activities in order to bring the overall cost of trips down. All trips planned link directly to your child's learning. • Ipswich Transport Museum
