School trips (Secondary)

[WelshMoth]

Do any of your schools allow for trips during the school week? Residential trips, that is.

Just asking out of interest.

Secondary - yes. But we try to get them into the end-of- year activities week.

Our year 7 French trip is allowed during the school week. All other residentials are done at weekends or holidays.

My school has just written a policy stating that residential trips are not allowed during the week.

It grieves me that a trip from my dept can only be run by staff who have the goodwill to do so. We all have young children and the headship team have also stated that no
Dependants are allowed on the trips either.

Am frustrated.
