We love Subject Leader Matt Child’s approach to school trips. In his article for TES, he praises the benefits of self-directed trips. As a Subject Leader of Geography, Matt sees school trips as a way of getting out and seeing the physical and human features of the world that he teaches every day.
His article provides itineraries for two of his past trips: Morocco and New York, both of which received greatly deserved praise from parents! Check them out and also see our travel advice for Morocco and the USA. If you are thinking of planning a trip to the USA, you must take into account new rules concerning UK passports.
If you have been inspired by Matt’s article but planning a school trip is still a terrifying prospect, Handsam has a wide range of services to help you. HandsamSchoolTripsAdvisor was created to help school staff plan and lead trips more easily, effectively and quickly, with an eclectic collection of venues, trip ideas, travel advice by country and safety advice. Additionally, our online trip planning system reduces and simplifies the admin and communication involved in the trip planning process.
