We have employed a professional photographer to take photos on the day, which schools will receive on a CD. Please note that it is our intention to take publicity photos and so we would be grateful if you would ensure that those children attending the event have received the necessary parental permissions for photographs to be taken.
If you wish to have some of your school travel work displayed, please send it to us, at the address below, by Friday June 20th at the latest
If you need help with getting the materials to County Hall, please contact us - we may be able to assist.
