We are very excited about our visit to the Severn Valley Railway on Friday 7th July!

Below is information about our visit and what children will need to bring.

Please could children wear their school uniform as normal on Friday for our visit and arrive at school at their usual time.

It looks as though the sun will be shining for us, so please could children have suncream applied before they come to school and bring a sun hat.

Please could children bring their water bottles to school, as usual. We will be bringing them with us on the visit and children will be encouraged to drink regularly throughout the day to stay hydrated, especially if the weather is hot.

Children can bring their morning break snack to school as usual, as they will have their break at the normal time before getting on the coach. We also have fruit available as normal if they don’t usually bring in their own snack from home. 

The coach will arrive at school at 10.30am and will drop us off at Bridgnorth Railway Station (we have been asked to arrive in plenty of time before the train departs).

We will then board the steam train ready to depart at 11.55am.

We will arrive at The Engine House, Highley at approximately 12.30pm where we will head straight to the outside picnic and play area to eat lunch and play on the playground equipment. We have a list of the children who have ordered a school packed lunch. If the children are bringing a packed lunch from home, they can either bring their lunch in a disposable bag which can be put in the bin afterwards or they are welcome to bring it in their usual lunchbox. 

We will then see Steam locamotives up close as we walk through ‘The Engine House’ museum. We will be on the look out for one famous engine in particular…Gordon! We hear that Gordon can be a stubborn engine that gets into mischief. We will share a story about Gordon before heading back to school by coach.

The coach will pick us up from The Engine House at 2pm for arrival back at school at approximately 2.40pm.

The children can be picked up from school at their usual time of 3.10pm. Should there be any delay, we will keep you updated.

If you have any further questions or queries, please don’t hesitate to make contact.

Many thanks for your continued support

We just wanted to say a huge thank-you to all who have offered to help on the day of the Green Class trip to Severn Valley Railway on Friday 7th July 2023. The response has been overwhelming and we are incredibly grateful to you.

We are pleased to say, that we have organised support for the day of the visit and are safely within ratio with a combination of staff and parent volunteers. We have made contact directly with the parents who will be attending on the day of the visit.

Thank you again for all of your support, as always.

The Green Class Team

Over the next couple of weeks, as part of our learning based around the story “The Train Ride”, the children will be invited to make trains using junk modelling as one of our enhanced provision activities. We would be very grateful of any recycling you may have that the children could use to build their creations.
Thank you!
