Children weep as easyJet cancels school trip flight

Children burst into tears after hearing their end-of-school trip to the Netherlands had been cancelled. The school children, aged 10 and 11, were just two weeks away from their flight.

Broadclyst Primary School in Exeter had arranged to fly Year 6 children on a residential trip between July 11 and July 15. A scramble to find alternative travel proved unsuccessful and the trip has been cancelled.

One mother told DevonLive: "A lot of the children were in tears when they found out and very upset as they’ve been so excited about the trip. My son didn’t cry but seemed resigned to the fact that yet another thing has been cancelled. I believe there were about 33 of them plus teachers going."
