Allocation of Places

For school trips and visits with limited places, we expect all students taking part to have a behaviour record that suggests they will be able to display the conduct and attitude that will be essential on a trip. It is also imperative that students have an excellent attendance record. If a student's behaviour or attendance become a cause for concern before the commencement of the trip, we reserve the right to withdraw them from the trip. In these circumstances, the deposit would remain non-refundable.

Where trips are over-subscribed, names will be drawn at random.  We operate a waiting list for all students who do not secure a place.

Payment Deadlines and Financial Support

Our payment deadlines are fixed by the travel companies that we use, as we need to ensure that we have collected payments from parents before we have to make a payment to our travel providers. By signing up to a trip, parents are making a commitment to meet the payment deadlines that are set for the trip.

If you are unable to meet a payment deadline, please let us know in advance of the deadline so that we can make alternative arrangements for you.  This is particularly important for deposit payments - if the initial deposit payment deadline is missed, your child's place will be relinquished and given to another student.

If you are facing financial hardship, please contact the school to discuss the support that we can offer.
