is a member of ABTA, ATOL and the School Travel Forum. The total cost of the

contact Mrs McCrone in the School Office. Please be aware that the first and
   second deposits are non-refundable and that the travel company imposes
  the charges for cancellations (unless a replacement is arranged). However,
 cancellation charges can be reclaimed (less policy excess) if withdrawal is for
                              an insurable reason.
