Frequently Asked Questions
We take travel safety seriously. We audit our transport providers and only choose transport services we believe to be safe and reliable.
Yes, small groups are fine, but the minimum size we can accommodate is 15. If you need to boost numbers, you might want to consider teaming up with other departments a cross-curricular trip, or, for those part of a Multi-Academy Trust, reaching out to other schools within the trust.
There are plenty of accommodation options available on our educational trips, depending on where you choose to visit. Most commonly, you’ll either stay in a city-centre hotel or dedicated hostel for school groups.
