my kid has a residential at osmington bay on 13 june

I don't believe the school is allowing them to take mobile phones on this trip... Who told you they're allowed to take them?

Seems veeeeerryyyy unlikely.

🤔

And some easy to pack games like Dobble or a pack of cards

Her own pillowcase. Helps if they are likely to be a bit homesick or things are undamiliar

I thought that.

You need to wait for the school to send the info out before you buy anything/ start packing. I'm not sure how you know she's allowed her phone, but don't know anything else about what she should be bringing, or is allowed/ isn't allowed. Kit List would usually be sent out about 3 weeks beforehand, and there'll likely be a parents meeting to answer questions and discuss what to pack. If you're particularly nervous (or your daughter is), or there's a specific reason you need to know earlier, then contact who ever is in charge of the trip and request the kit list be sent to you earlier. Don't just try to guess, as there'll be requirements on stuff like number of pairs of shoes, bedding, number of sets of clothes etc.

FWIW, we're taking Guides away the weekend after that to a large scale camp, and the central camp has only just released the general kit list (literally yesterday), so we've not sent this info to parents yet, as there's some things we need to add/ edit.

Has she never been on a residential before? I only ask as my 9 year old has been on at least 8 with Rainbows and Brownies.

Name anything where likely to be similar items, to avoid confusion

She needs to pack, not you, so she knows what was in there and remembers to bring everything back.

As a rough guide, she needs socks, underwear, t shirt and shorts/leggings per day, plus a couple jumpers for evenings. Swimming costume, couple of hats, sunscreen,toiletries, a book. 2 -3 pairs of trainers - 1 for messy, 1 for inside/clean and 1 back up. Waterproofs.

As several pp have already said. The school will send a list! Infact when my DD went to Osmington Bay we were invited to a PowerPoint presentation at school about the trip including what to pack.

You have really had everything you need mentioned already eg for coach a drink, book, card game and talk to friends. For the actual residential they will send a list of items depending on number of days as well as the different types of shoes needed (eg wellies, trainers and indoor shoes).

As a teacher who has taken many trips to OB in the past, please could pack some sort of sanitary protection for your daughter, amazing how many girls start their periods there!

what do you mean but like what else should I bring

Are you the child in question? Can you ask your teacher or someone in your class?

Given that it’s a 90 min coach trip, you don’t need anything really…

Sorry , missed that DD is in fact 13!.

Check what the school advise on their packing list, as there'll probably be some things that can't be taken, somethings that need to be taken and there'll be rules about eating/ drinking on the coach.
Personally against electronics on trips like this, they'll not have much time to use them, there's a big risk of them getting damaged and they're not covered by PGL/ school insurance, and there won't be enough plugs to charge everyones, so I'd advise against bringing phones.

Otherwise, for hand luggage I'd advise;

• Refillable water bottle
• Small game, such as uno or dobble or a pack of cards
• Notebook and pens
• Named purse with allowed pocket money (if pocket money is allowed)
• Any food as specific by the school (sweets if allowed, packed lunch if needed etc)
• Sunglasses and sun hat
• Sun cream
• Camera (if permitted, maybe a disposable one, or an old digital one)
• If she has any medication, that should also be in hand luggage bag, if not handed into teachers

An hour and a half on a bus with her friends won't require much in the way of entertaining for 13 year olds!
If you've got questions about what is allowed, or would be useful, make a note of them, and either take them along to the pre-trip meeting, or email them to the teacher in charge of the trip a few weeks before she goes.

I doubt she will be allowed to take her phone. For such a short journey she won’t need to take anything on the coach.

Nothing? Why does she need anything for that short a journey? Can't she just talk to her friends? Why are you posting the same thing 3 times but not responding to any other posts?

It's an hour and a half and she'll be with her friends. Chill.

I've arranged several school trips this year, using 3 different coach companies, and none of them allow eating or drinking on the coach. The school will let you know if you are required to send a packed lunch.
There's always the parent who sends their DC without a water bottle, hat or suncream, don't be that parent. Make sure to pack a spare of trainers in case they get the main ones wet. Send a few plastic bags for wet or dirty clothes. But if your DC is in Y6 they will have a pretty good idea of what they need. Has there been a meeting at school and a list sent home?

If she’s 13 why on earth are you packing her bag for a ninety minute ride on a coach? Surely she knows what she wants and packs it herself?! She’s not a toddler on a long haul flight.
