In a recent Coronavirus update, Penryn College Headteacher Paul Walker announced that all school trips have been cancelled for the rest of the school year.

The cancellation comes following "uncertainty" over Coronavirus and that the school expects social distancing to continue for "some time."

In a notice passed on by Paul Walker, Mr Cunningham said:

"We are very sorry that we have had to do this, but it became apparent that there was too much parental money on the line and that even if the trips were to go ahead, we felt that parents/carers would not be happy for their child to travel."

As a result of the cancellations, almost all refunds will be paid over the next five weeks.

Mr Cunningham added:

"This is quite a complex procedure, so different trips will be done on an individual basis as quickly as we can do it. I am very sorry that we have had to cancel the trips, which I know students were really looking forward to. We will do our best to ensure that we have other trips available through the next school year."
