If your child has a medical reason as to why they cannot attend, it may be possible, with medical evidence, to make an insurance claim to recoup some/all of the monies paid.

Please note that if students are to go on a school trip they must be presenting the best of our values consistently.  If a student has a Character for Learning score of above 2.7 at the time of the trip, they will be unable to attend the trip and will not be eligible for a refund as final balances will have been paid to the providers. Please be assured that as a school we always balance the need for the consistent implementation of our CfL grade, with the need to make reasonable adjustments to meet the individual needs and circumstances of all students.  

Should you have any questions in the meantime, please do not hesitate to contact me (hbrooker@wardenpark.co.uk).

Yours faithfully,
