BRITISH schools planning to take groups to France between now and Sunday have been warned against making their journeys.

In line with guidance from the French Ministry of Education, The Foreign Office has advised that school trips should not be made until after November 23.

It follows terrorist attacks in Paris last Friday, November 13, that left 129 people dead.

In a statement, the Foreign and Commonwealth Office, said: "As part of the national state of emergency, the French Ministry of Education has cancelled all school trips within France by French schools until Sunday.

"This includes excursions to cultural sites (theatres, museums, etc) and travel by school groups on public transport.

“These cancellations don't specifically include foreign school parties, but the French Ministry of Education has advised foreign school groups to avoid travelling to France until after November 22.

"The Foreign and Commonwealth Office recommends that British schools planning to take groups to France between now and November 22 follow the French Ministry of Education's advice not to travel.

“The French Ministry of Education has advised thatschool trips already under way in France may continue as originally planned."
