Frequently Asked Questions

How do I pay for a school trip?

The easiest way to pay for trips is online at SCO Online Payments. Alternatively, payment can be made at reception using card, cash or cheque made payable to Hampshire County Council. For more expensive trips, we often offer payment plans to spread the cost over several months.

What happens if my child is ill on the day of a trip?

If your child is unable to attend a trip due to illness, please contact the school as soon as possible. Depending on the nature of the trip and our insurance policy, you may be eligible for a partial or full refund. Please note that each case is assessed individually.

What if my child has special dietary requirements or medical needs?

We accommodate all dietary requirements and medical needs. When you complete the trip permission form, there is a section to provide details about any special requirements or medical conditions. Our staff will ensure these are catered for during the trip. For more complex medical needs, we may ask for additional information or a meeting to discuss arrangements.

Do students need spending money for trips?

For most trips, we recommend students bring a small amount of spending money for souvenirs or additional snacks. The amount will depend on the duration and nature of the trip. For overseas trips, we provide specific guidance on appropriate amounts and currency information in the pre-trip information pack.

What happens if we cannot afford a school trip?

We believe that financial constraints should not prevent any student from participating in educational trips. If you are experiencing financial difficulties, please contact our Finance Office or your child's Head of Year in confidence. We have various support options available, including payment plans and possible financial assistance for families who qualify.

How are students supervised on trips?

All school trips maintain appropriate staff-to-student ratios in line with safety guidelines. For residential trips, staff are on duty 24 hours a day. Our trip leaders are experienced and receive specific training, and all trips undergo a thorough risk assessment process before approval. On overseas trips, we often work with reputable tour operators who provide additional support.
