After some queries regarding payment for the trip, the following advice has been sent from the travel company:
As there is currently no government advice related to travel in 2021, we cannot advise you at this time as to how the situation will proceed.
However, we have now confirmed both the flight times and coach transfers so I would therefore suggest the following course of action.
Due to the social-distancing rules being enforced, payments for the New York trip will be suspended. Payments will then resume when the policy towards reopening schools has been decided. I would like to stress that this does not mean that the trip has been cancelled in any way; merely that taking payments is not viable at this time.
I would like to extend my thanks for your understanding during this difficult time and I welcome any questions/ queries via my school email (nkeeble@aberdareschool.co.uk).
