1, Give them purpose
You want your school trips to be enjoyable for pupils. However, don’t lose sight of the educational value they offer too. Your cycle of trips and visits should be woven into your curriculum plans and should support the development of skills and knowledge that would not be accessible in other ways. Try and provide every subject with an opportunity to explore an aspect of the curriculum outside the classroom.
2, Developing independence
Your trips should build the life-skills and independence of your pupils. Starting with day trips for your youngest and then structure their experiences through each year group. From travelling in a coach to managing pocket money – there are so many experiences they can benefit from and build on.
