Any student leaving the College prior to the residential week will not be permitted to travel and will forfeit all monies paid.
All deposits are non-refundable.
Should a student withdraw from the trip or be unable to travel, monies received are non-refundable unless covered by the insurance or there are students on the waiting list for the trip who are able to take the place. Deposits, in this case, are still non-refundable as the College has to pay the administration charges for name changes to the Travel Company.
All students travelling on any of the overseas trips will require their own passport which must be valid for at least 6 months after the date of travel.
All trips except London, New York and China, require students to have an EHIC, available free from any main Post Office, online or by phone.
It is a pre-requisite for every trip that students provide a completed and signed form containing details of any existing medical conditions plus details of any medication they are currently taking. Twenty-four hour emergency contact details for students must be provided to the College prior to the trip.
The Principal reserves the right to remove any student from any trip in the event of a serious behavioural incident occurring prior to the date of travel.
Health and travel insurance is included in the price of all trips. Full details can be made available on request.
The College cannot accept liability, make any refunds or pay any compensation where circumstances amounting to 'force majeure' prevent travel. Circumstances mounting to 'force majeure' include any event which the tour company or Brooke Weston College could not, even with all due care, foresee or forestall such as (by way of example not by way of limitation) war, threat of war, riot, civil unrest, industrial dispute, terrorist activity, natural or nuclear disaster, fire, acts of God, adverse weather conditions, and all similar events. The final decision concerning the safety and viability of any trip rests with the Principal, who will, where possible consult with parents beforehand.
Any default in payment unless previously agreed with the finance office, will result in the place being withdrawn. Any monies already received will be non-refundable unless there are students on the waiting list for the trip who are able to take the place. Deposits, in this case, are still non-refundable as the College has to pay the administration charges for name changes to the Travel Company.
The Principal reserves the right to refuse a place to any student who has a substantial outstanding balance on their College account, either on payment of the deposit or at any time thereafter. In addition, it is expected that all accounts will be settled in full no later than one month prior to departure.
