For parents of those pupils on Bus 2 to Thorpe Park today (if you are receiving this text, your child travelled on Bus 2)
Thorpe Park Visit TODAY (Monday 17 July 2023) – UPDATE
Unfortunately, the bus your child travelled on today broke down at Reading Services this afternoon on their way to Thorpe Park after a significant delay on the M4. The bus has now been repaired by the driver. However, they were still at least 45 minutes away from Thorpe Park and would not have enough time at the park before it closed.
This coach (Bus 2) is returning to school now and is expected to arrive at school around 5.30pm. This is subject to change due to traffic and your child will contact you to update you nearer the time of their arrival.
We have already organised with Thorpe Park for the tickets for the children on this coach (Bus 2) to be transferred to next term. Therefore, the children on this coach will visit the park in the autumn term (date to be confirmed) so your child will not miss out on this reward trip.
The other three coaches arrived safely at Thorpe Park earlier this afternoon and they will return to school later this evening.
Thank you for your understanding.
