A few parents have been asking about school trips and in particular, refunds.<\/p>\n

The Lochgoilhead trip did not happen and we not expecting that any of the other 4 trips scheduled before June will now be able to run.<\/p>\n

We are currently in negotiations with all the travel companies and also ERC insurance regarding the situation.<\/p>\n

I have requested a full refund from the companies including deposits. Some are wanting us to make a new booking for next year; some are still saying they are not cancelling the trip yet as the trip is not yet \u2018imminent\u2019 so we would be penalised with cancellation charges. I am looking to ensure that we get the full money back and do not want to leave it for a booking next year – that may not be a suitable alternative for everyone.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
If the companies do not offer a full refund, we need them to confirm that in writing to allow us to then seek insurance cover. I have asked again for a reply from all of them within the week although some are not responding so far.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
I am optimistic that we will be able to recover the full cost, one way or another, and will certainly pass that back to parents asap once we receive it.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Thank you for your patience at this challenging time. I would hope to be able to clarify the situation within the next few weeks.<\/div>\n
