ALTON TOWERS POSTPONED
URGENT ALTON TOWERS UPDATE
Parents and Carers of Year 6
Earlier this afternoon we were alerted to the Amber Weather Warning in place for Staffordshire tomorrow with heavy rain and winds from midnight tonight until Thursday morning. There is currently heavy rain forecast throughout this period.
We have liaised over the afternoon with the Telford and Wrekin Educational Visits Lead and Alton Towers this afternoon for advice. We have made the difficult decision to postpone the visit to Alton Towers which will now take place on Monday 17th June.
We know in the short term the children will be disappointed: we are too. We have been working on this over the last couple of hours and have not yet informed the children. Please reassure them they will be going and we are working to do all we can to ensure they have the best day. In school tomorrow in uniform please.
There are several reasons for the decision but key are that heavy rain will make for a miserable, uncomfortable day and rides will be likely to close and this will bring disappointment and not the value for money we want from the visit. Alton Towers and the coach company are agreeable and supportive to amending the date which means we can give certainty of the 17th June for the children to look forward to.
Please know we are decision making with every commitment to doing the very best for the children with the information and advice we have this afternoon.
We really do appreciate your support and understanding.
