If we do not receive a form from you we may need to contact you on the day in order to discuss your wishes. Therefore, it is very important that you return the form to us in advance in order to make your wishes known.
Please note that all forms must be completed by 5pm on the day prior to the first session at your child’s school in order to be entered on the system.
If your child is not in school on the schools session dates we will be running catch-up clinics across the Bristol, North Somerset and South Gloucestershire region, you will receive information about these after the school sessions.
