Dear Parent/Carer
It will come as no surprise to find that the London Trip organised by the Maths Department on 11th to 15th May 2020 cannot go ahead. This is due to current government advice. However in the interest of the safety of our young people it would have been a decision we would have taken ourselves anyway!
We have made the decision not to cancel this in totality but to postpone it to June 2021*, with the dates of this yet to be finalised. It will however be in or around the last week of term. These dates will allow those currently in S3 to attend the trip as May 2021 would see a clash with the SQA exams.
Our decision to postpone as opposed to cancelling the trip was to try to make sure that there were no issues with losing any deposits. It appears universally that insurance in such circumstances does not include deposits.
You do have the opportunity to withdraw your child from the new proposed trip and if this happened you would receive a full refund. Given the current status of the school being closed and social distancing measures in place the likelihood is that any monies due to you would not be returned to you till August at the earliest.
Kindest regards

*This however very much depends on the situation at that time in relation to coronavirus
