PARTICIPATION TERMS Activities Week is an important part of a Distinctive Rosebery Education, providing opportunities for students to develop character, build relationships and learn beyond the classroom. As such, all students are expected to participate in Activities Week and select an appropriate activity or programme. Once a booking has been made and payment received via ParentPay, changes cannot usually be accommodated and payments are non-refundable. Students are expected to participate fully in their chosen activity and attend all elements of the programme. Selective participation is not permitted. Where a student does not wish to take part in a particular activity, an alternative Activities Week option should be selected. Please note that participation in offsite visits and activities is dependent on students demonstrating acceptable attendance (91%+), positive conduct and behaviour that reflects Rosebery’s values. The school reserves the right to withdraw a student’s place on an off-site activity where attendance or behaviour suggests they may not be a suitable ambassador for the school. In such circumstances, an alternative on-site provision will be made available. As part of our commitment to safeguarding and student wellbeing, all Activities Week programmes are subject to comprehensive risk assessments. While we aim for every
student to access their chosen activity wherever possible, there may be exceptional circumstances where acute medical, physical or safeguarding needs mean that participation in a particular activity is not appropriate. Where this is likely to be the case, families will be contacted directly at the earliest opportunity so that suitable alternative arrangements can be discussed. We appreciate your support in ensuring that all students engage positively with this valuable and much-loved part of the Rosebery calendar.
At Rosebery, we believe that every student should have the opportunity to take part in Activities Week and enjoy the experiences that are such a valued part of a Distinctive Rosebery Education. If the cost of an activity may be a concern for your family, please contact the Trips Team in confidence at trips@ roseberyschool.co.uk. We will always do our best to work with families and ensure that financial circumstances are not a barrier to participation.
