    Initial Kingswood Residential Meeting Year 4 and 5 Children - Kingswood Residential February 2026 Today the children have been given a letter about the proposed residential for February 2026. Children in Year 5 will be in Year 6 and children in Year 4 will be in Year 5 when the visit takes place. I am holding a meeting on Wednesday 15th January 2024 at 3:30pm to share information about the residential and to get an idea for numbers. This meeting may seem very early, which it is, but I want to give parents enough time to spread the cost of the visit. Please attend the meeting if you feel this is something you want your children to experience. If you can't attended, the PowerPoint will be shared and a letter explaining the next steps will be sent out.
