Dear parents,

 

I write with sadness about the cancellation of this weekend’s tour.

 

Looking at the Met office weather forecast for Cirencester, it is clear that the drop in temperature due to take place this evening and overnight is such that the girls will play no hockey at all.

 

They will not be able to practise this afternoon as there is snow on the pitch and we won’t even want them to go outside tomorrow morning as the temperature is due to “feel like” -3c at 0900.

 

Miss Robertson is in contact with the tour company, trying to rearrange the tour for later this year.

 

Like you and the girls, the staff are hugely disappointed that we have had to make this decision, but we do so with the welfare of the children and the staff very much in mind.

 

Your girls will be ready to be picked up from school at normal time, but of course we can keep them later if you have to make arrangements.

 

Matt Robinson

Head of the Junior School
