Brexit Update for Schools

Please read the above information from Mercat Tours International.

As B Day draws ever closer and there’s still no clarity regarding what may happen, the UK Government are recommending that all UK citizens intending travelling abroad have at least 6 months left on their passport before travelling.

I am aware that some of our pupils have less than that so can you please check using this link below whether you child will require to have their passport renewed before travelling.

Something we try to incorporate into each year’s trip is a visit to the grave or memorial of ancestors of our pupils. This is often a very poignant and moving experience,

If you have lost any family member in the Great War (WW1) can you please let us have as much information on them as possible. We’d ask for Name, Date and place of Birth, Regiment, Date of Death, Service Number, Where buried or commemorated. We understand that you may not have all of these details but please give us as much as possible.

This relative does not need to have been a great grandparent, or great uncle, any close relative or distant family member is appropriate.

If your relative is buried or commemorated near to any of the places in our itinerary we will make every effort to visit their place of rest, although time and accessibility may mean we are unable to do so.

May I ask one thing of you all though, can you please give us as much notice as possible so the coach company and tour guides can try to factor in a visit, please don’t leave it until the last minute!
