thank you to those that have given some useful information and sign posted some websites etc that i can use.  After my meeting yesterday  the school have agreed not to take her off their register for now as she is starting to improve and will hopefully be attending more regularly from next week.  They have acknowledged that she comes under the disability act and has genuine reasons for her non attendance. The post from Silvercar really helped. So at the moment the issue around my original post is sorted as she can still go on the trip as she is currently still as student and hopefully will remain so.

Thanks for reporting back, I hope it all works out for her.

Here’s hoping the trip doesn’t get cancelled due to coronavirus anyway!

Out of interest what kind of school trip is it? For fun or educational or what way is it organised.

The reason I ask is because I attended 6th form and did my a levels and there were no organised trips mainly because 6th form wasnt actually compulsory. You choose to be there and if you didnt meet the requirements that you agreed to then you were out.

Where are they going that a part payment of £750 was taken? If that was part payment how much was the whole thing? Thousands?

My son had a "compulsory" geography field trip for a week to France, I know that those doing religious studies A level had the option of a trip to Israel (not sure if that was compulsory or not), those doing art A level also went off to places. So it could be course dependent.

My daughter went on a few trips whilst in sixth form. These were organised by a specialist travel agent, with the involvement of the school. The terms and conditions were made very clear upfront.
