Insurance cover
Insurance costs are included within the overall costs of each trip. Whilst the school considers this level of cover reasonable and acceptable, parents should satisfy themselves that this level of cover is adequate for their own personal circumstances.
Please note that the medical cover relates to any treatment required as the result of an accident, not as the result of an illness. There will be a link to our local insurance fact sheet and some further information about insurance cover in the newsletter over the coming few weeks.
