Saturday 31st January  

• Departing Pra Loup resort after breakfast.

• Flight departure from Marseille at 18:30.

• Landing at London Heathrow at 19:35

• British Airways BA367.

• Arrive back at Highlands School approximately 9:30/9:45pm.

• Students will require some money to allow them to buy some food for lunch/dinner during the journey home.

Students are not permitted to bring any mobile phones on the trip. The rationale is that the temporary inconvenience of being without a phone is a necessary trade-off to ensure the highest standard of physical and emotional safety for every student throughout the trip.

• Physical safety & accident prevention - phones are a distraction on the slopes and lifts. Banning them ensures students remain fully focused on their instructors, minimising the risk of accidents, injuries, and collisions.

• Online & emotional wellbeing - removing personal devices mitigates the risk of cyberbullying and sharing inappropriate content. It allows students to focus on the experience and social bonding.

• Loss, damage, and theft - electronics are easily lost or damaged in the resort environment, and can make students targets for theft. 

We understand the importance of communication. Please be assured that a robust communication plan is in place for essential contact:

• Emergency contact: You can contact the school office who will contact the trip leaders, or email berrillv@highlearn.uk

• Student check-ins: If necessary, staff will facilitate supervised group check-in times using a staff mobile phone so students can make brief, essential calls home.

We appreciate your support of this policy, which is implemented solely to ensure the physical and emotional safety of all participants and to maximize the success of the trip.

If your child may be required to take any medication whilst we are away, please complete the consent form below This will include items such as paracetamol which can be handed to staff before departure.

In the event of an emergency, please contact the main school office who will be able to contact the trip leaders. You can also email berrillv@highlearn.uk.
