We are an ATOL bonded tour operator authorised by the Civil Aviation Authority (CAA). Every holiday we sell that includes a flight element is protected under our ATOL licence number 10186. In the unlikely event of our insolvency, the CAA will ensure that you are not stranded abroad and will arrange to refund any money you have paid to us for an advanced booking.

As a member of the Association of Bonded Travel Organisers Trust Limited (ABTOT), an Association approved by BIS, Schools Worldwide has provided a Bond to meet the requirements of the Package Travel, Package Holidays and Package Tours Regulations 1992. In the event of Schools Worldwide's insolvency, this Bond provides security for: · non-flight inclusive packages commencing in and returning to the UK; and · packages excluding flights to and from your destination which are offered by Schools Worldwide. Please note that bookings made from overseas must be made directly with Schools Worldwide and not via an agent. In the above circumstances, the following will apply: · a refund of your prepayments if you have not yet travelled; or · repatriation where your non-flight inclusive package commences in and returns to the UK if you have already travelled.
