Please aim to arrive at Monkton Combe School between 2pm – 3.30pm on Saturday 22nd July. More details of where to drop off and park is available in the email that has been sent out to parents.
Please be aware that there are planned train strikes on Saturday 22nd July. We have set up a WhatsApp group where you can get in touch with other MAX parents to try and share lifts where possible. If you would like to join this group please contact our Admin TEAM.
The registration desk will be in the Assembly Hall, and parking is easy in the visitor car park.
accommodation
The young people’s rooms have between 1 and 6 bed/s each with bathroom/shower facilities nearby. We will locate young people in their small group (SUS group) in rooms together; their leader will be in a room nearby. We will do our best to meet your sharing requests, but this is not always possible. All bedding is provided but please bring a towel.
Each boarding house has a big common room which is good for meeting friends, playing games and hanging out. Leaders will always be nearby to chat and facilitate the fun and games.
WHAT TO BRING…
- Fancy dress for our murder mystery – Tropical Paradise. There will also be opportunity to buy fancy dress/accessories in charity shops during our day in Bath.

- Musical instruments for playing in the band / afternoon jamming sessions (please remember that these are brought at your own risk).
