School trip residential insurance?

[Anxiousmummy1187]

So my daughter’s residential trip cost us 300 pounds for 2 nights. I’m wondering if they’re sick what happens like can we claim back do the schools have insurance ? Never thought about it before but my friend moved jones due to her being a tenant and having to movedX so they movee school before going and she has paid 600 for 2 kids and school said won’t get it back as has to secure place like what? If they move homes surely they should refund them?

A school trip is costed out per head. If, past a certain point someone pulls out they can't get their money back unless someone else takes the place or it's a reason that the trip insurance would cover. I don't know if a house move would be. The school will be charged X by whoever is running of hosting the trip and that won't change so the cost has to be covered somewhere. If the insurance doesn't cover it, who do you imagine should pay the shortfall to the company?

No, you don’t get it back. It’s the risk you take opting to go, like with a concert or a normal weekend away (I don’t mean like the sort of holiday where you’d take out travel insurance, but non-refundable train travel and Uk hotel).

I should say, sickness would be covered if it was serious, with evidence etc but probably not if it was just a cold.

You wouldn't get a holiday refund if you moved house so you wouldn't get a residential refund either.
