Welcome to our Condover Hall 2016 Blog

This is the blog for the Chad Vale Primary School Condover Hall 2016 residential trip. We'll be posting lots of news, photos and video throughout the week on here. Please bookmark or favourite and return in February 2016!

The Y5/6 Condover Hall trip is Monday 8th-12th February and the children are already getting extremely excited! We will soon be sorting out the activity groups, finalising the the program information and choosing our rooms! 


Thank-you to everyone who has made full payment for the trip. Could you please arrange to make any outstanding payments as soon as possible, as the school has already made full payment on your behalf.

I enclose with this letter a further packing list and some other information that you may find useful about the trip. If you have any further questions please do catch me on the playground in the mornings or after school, or alternatively, email me at p.sansom@chadvale.bham.sch.uk. 

You may wish to give your child the opportunity to earn some spending money over the next few weeks by doing jobs around the house! The shop and vending machines on-site will be available and we would recommend children bring no more than £10, in change, so that they can buy drinks/snacks throughout the week.
