Whole School trip  

Whole School Trip 

On Friday 27th June, Stepney Park Primary School will go on its first whole school trip to Victoria Park, which is only a 45-minute walk from school. We will organise many exciting games and activities in the park, and we hope it’s going to be a fantastic day for all!

Families come too!

To make the trip possible and the best and most exciting experience for all children, we need as many children as possible to be accompanied by a parent or family members. The children will have the best time if they have a relative with them who can take them to different parts of the park in order to take part in all the activities. We do expect the parent/ family members to take responsibility for their child for the whole day. There may be some parents who are unable to take the day off work to accompany their child/ children. If this is the case, your child will be coming with the school.

Picnic lunch

Please ensure that your child has a backpack and plenty of water to drink. We will organise packed lunches for all children, free of charge. Packed lunches can be collected in the park at a set time and location, more details to follow. There are also opportunities for parents to buy tea, coffee, ice-cream or other snacks from two cafes: the Pavilion Café and the Pools Playground Café.

Please make sure you have returned your form.
