More than 40 school children from the UK have reportedly been left stuck on the other side of the Atlantic after a hotel in the US accidentally shredded their passports.
The teenagers, who study at Barr Beacon School in Walsall and were due home on Saturday, have stayed an extra four days abroad while emergency documents are sorted.
Headteacher Katie Hibbs has spoken of her pride in the staff "for managing this very challenging situation". A mother has concurred, admitting that while she is surprised at the circumstances, the school's "phenomenal" response has reassured her.
