Covid-19
Throughout the pandemic FSC has always followed the guidance. Our focus remains making sure that all our visitors and staff feel safe and secure. We are continuing to do this as restrictions change.For new bookings made from 1 September 2020 and due to take place before 31 December 2022 we offer refundable payments: If your booking has to be cancelled due to national or local government restrictions on travel; school closure or requirement to self-isolate, your payments can be transferred to another booking or refunded. If for the same reasons a small number of students on a group booking cannot come on their trip as planned but we both decide the trip can go ahead for the remaining students, we can transfer payments from affected students to a future booking.
For further details, please get in touch. Tel: 01743 852100
