School Trips
School trips provide an important opportunity for young people to extend and apply their learning. They contribute to a positive school ethos, develop and maintain relationships as well as build resilience in our pupils.
There will be universal offer that all young people will have the opportunity to participate in and finance should not be a barrier as families may be provided assistance through pupil equity funding.

The universal offer looks like:
| Year Group | Excursion |
| S1 | 1 day excursion/interdisciplinary experience |
| S2 | 1 day excursion/interdisciplinary experience |
| S3 | Residential experience |
| Senior Phase | Subject specific excursions required for a qualification |
Optional sports, cultural and leisure excursions will be offered in addition to the universal offer but these will mainly fall outwith school times unless the timing of the event is unique.
Where the cost of a trip is in excess of £500, these will be planned over more than one academic session to allow families time to plan for the financial outlay.
If you sign up for a school trip and for whatever reason need to cancel, you will be bound by the terms and conditions of booking with the provider and will not automatically receive a refund. The trip leader will be able to provide more information about this.
