Dear Parent/Carer,
At the end of module 4, the Academy will take part in the second of three Cultural Capital events this academic year. Our Cultural Capital days and week (at the end of the academic year), offer unique opportunities to students to participate in exciting activities in line with National Curriculum guidance.
The Cultural Capital day will take place on Wednesday 25th March. Students in Year 10 will be attending educational visits. Your child will be visiting The Hunterian Museum.
The Hunterian Museum
Future doctors and scientists will discover the art and science of surgery from ancient times to the present day. The Hunterian Museum includes the display of over 2,000 anatomical preparations from Hunter’s original collection, alongside instruments, equipment, models, paintings and archive material, which trace the history of surgery from ancient times to the latest robot-assisted operations. The Museum includes England’s largest public display of human anatomy.
Students will travel on public transport using the TFL School Travel Scheme. All students will depart from the Academy to commence their trip, and will return to the Academy at the end of their trip, so that they can be registered before being dismissed. If this trip returns before the end of the Academy day, students will be dismissed upon arrival.
All students should attend in their normal Academy uniform and are advised to wear appropriate winter travel clothing, suitable for cooler March temperatures. They will also need to bring a packed lunch and students eligible for a Free School Meal will be provided with a packed lunch. Spending money for souvenirs is to be kept to a reasonable amount.
If you have any questions, please email a member of your child’s small school team.
Yours faithfully,
Mrs H. Panton
Deputy Head of Turing School
