Coronavirus (COVID-19): guidance on schools reopening

School trips

We have published guidance on school trips. This currently advises that no school trips are recommended. This will continue to be considered for day trips as schools re-open more fully, and for residential trips by the end of March 2021. Based on the advice from the Advisory Sub-group from its 9 February meeting, short local excursions which promote outdoor learning (such as a short visit to a local park or green space) will be permitted for those learners in school, as long as these are appropriately risk assessed.
