Enrichment Brochure 2021/2022 Tibshelf Community School
Advice Guide and Booking Procedure
We are delighted to showcase what wonderful experiences we can provide your child this academic year.
There are a number of curriculum based enrichment opportunities that support the relevant subject area
that your child might be studying, along with a structured Enrichment Week in July 2022.
Please spend time with your child looking through the booklet, identifying the trips that would be suitable
for them, and making sure the trip is available to your child's year group or option group, as some are for
specific year groups or option groups. We have worked hard to ensure there are a number of trips and
residentials which cover a range of price brackets, we do not expect your child to go on every trip however
we recommend looking at the financial impact it will have for your family, along with identifying when
deposits and payments will need to be in for before registering your interest on a trip.
All of the experiences that are available for your child will be opened up on Parentpay for you to register
your child’s interest for a trip from Monday 20th September until Monday 4th October. Please make sure it
is an experience your child wants to go on and you can ensure all payment structures are adhered to
(see page 31) This year it will not be on a first come first served basis. Once we have received all of the
names registered for each trip, we will then undertake our selection process (see page 33).Once this is
completed, we will confirm if your child has been given a place on the trip or if they have been put on the
waiting list, on Monday 18th October. Having received confirmation we will then open up Parentpay for you
to settle deposits which will need to be paid no later than Monday 1st November. At this stage, if you have
not paid your deposit,, we will then look to the waiting list to cover the allocated places for each trip.
• Please read through the full terms and conditions on Pages 34 and 35 before committing to any trip.
Enrichment week July 2022
Each year group will have a particular curriculum focus for the week. We have also made every effort to offer
trips and residentials at different price ranges to suit all. Year 7 and 8, alongside their curriculum focus, will
have a residential available for them to register their interest for, this will be a great way of forging new
relationships and working on their resilience by attempting some of the tasks and activities during each
residential. Should you register your interest for the Lake District or Hereford residentials please be aware
that you would be away for the week so would be unable to attend the curriculum focused day trips such as
Newstead Abbey or Yorkshire Wildlife Park.
Year 9 will all have a fun packed activity day on site which will be ran by Lea Green, along with day trips made
available such as Silverstone race track and Bletchley Park to work on their inquisitiveness. Year 10 will be
undertaking their work experience Monday - Thursday before the whole school will be involved in a
sponsored event during Friday morning, more details to follow on this. For further details about Enrichment
Week please see page 18.

Behaviour
You will have read and agreed to the Code of Conduct when making your non refundable deposit
payment on ParentPay.
The school reserves the right to exclude from any trip/activity a student whose behaviour has given
cause for concern at any stage during the year. Students removed from a trip/activity for behaviour
or attendance issues will not be entitled to a refund.
If a student does not behave to a reasonable standard whilst on the trip, arrangements will be made
him/her to return before the rest of the group. The parent/carer will be responsible for collecting
their child or any expenses incurred as a result of this. The cost for any property damaged due to
carelessness or misconduct of a student will be the responsibility of the parent/carer.
The school reserves the right to remove a student from any trip due to non-payment of deposits or
instalments. You will not be entitled to a full refund. If you wish to remove your child from a trip you
must notify the school in writing. You will not be entitled to a refund. If you are having problems
paying the instalment please notify the school in writing at the earliest opportunity.
Selection Process
Students will be randomly generated for each trip rather than on a first come first served basis. The
remaining students will be placed onto a waiting list. Should someone drop out or fail to pay the
deposit required, the same process for students on the waiting list will be repeated to take up that
space.
Insurance
All trips are fully insured by the school’s travel insurance. If your child is unable to take up their place
due to a medical condition, we require confirmation from a Doctor. Please contact the Finance
Department at school before you obtain this information. Items such as mobile phones are taken at
the owner’s risk.
Cancellation and Refund Policy—ALL DEPOSITS ARE NON REFUNDABLE
Cancellation must be received by the school in writing. Please note that refunds are only given where
a legitimate claim can be made against our School Travel Insurance.. All claims are subject to the
terms of our cover.
PLEASE NOTE: All prices shown are approximate and based on filling the number of student places on
offer. The final amount will be detailed in the letter confirming your child’s place on a trip.
All Trips/Activities may be subject to change.CONDUCT AGREEMENT
Tibshelf Community School prides itself on the exemplary conduct of its students. The
school also expects students to attain an excellent level of attendance in line with the
school Attendance Policy. Enrichment trips/activities are arranged in total confidence
that this conduct will continue.
Taking students away on trips places extra responsibility on the staff concerned and
they must be assured that the students will not present either a risk to themselves or to
other students.
Please read and discuss with your child the importance of taking ownership of the
responsibility in this document.
Student conduct is monitored in lessons, in their general behaviour around school and
as part of the attendance monitoring system. This will be a vital factor in determining
whether they are allowed to attend their trip/activity.
• We understand that behaviour and attendance will be monitored and will play a
vital part in the decision as to whether a student can attend a chosen trip
• We understand that the school has the final decision as to whether a student is
able to attend a trip
• We understand that any penalties imposed due to a cancellation or removal from
a trip are liable for payment by the parent/carer
• We understand that the cost for any property damaged while on a trip/activity due
to carelessness, misconduct or deliberate intent will be the responsibility of the
parent/carer
• We understand that any behaviour not to a reasonable standard whilst on the trip,
will result in arrangements being made for your child returning before the rest of
the group. Parents/carers will be responsible for collecting your child or any
expenses incurred as a result of this.
• We understand that students are expected to have a great time whilst supporting
and encouraging fellow students in a safe and responsible manner
• We understand that all students are expected to uphold the excellent reputation
of Tibshelf Community School.
By making the initial payment for a trip/activity you and your child are automatically
agreeing to abide by the terms and conditions of this Conduct AgreementKey Dates
• Monday 20th September - Monday 4th October—Live on ParentPay for
parents to register their interest on a trip. No payment required at this stage.
• Monday 18th October—Confirmation of a trip place will be sent out, and
ParentPay will become live to pay the initial deposit or full payment (see
schedule on Page 31)
• Monday 1st November—Is the deadline for all trip deposits to be paid. At
this stage if the deposit is not paid the place will be given to someone on the
waiting list.
We truly believe that Enrichment Activities play a pivotal role for EVERY STUDENT at
Tibshelf Community School and we aspire to offer a wide range of opportunities.
Whilst we endeavour to run all activities outlined in this brochure, all are subject to
having sufficient numbers.
Any donations towards the Tibshelf Enrichment Fund, would be greatly appreciated
and with it, we will be able to continually develop and enhance our programme of
activities available. To do so, please login to your ParentPay account where you
should see this as an available payment item.
If you have any queries relating to the trips/activities in this brochure please
contact the trip leaders in the first instance, who can be found at the bottom of
each page. For all other enquiries please contact us via
