Field trips

A field trip is a lesson that happens to be outdoors.

One day or several. Planned around what the class is studying, not around what is nearby.

What this is

School field trips

The difference between a field trip and an outing is whether the teacher could tell you, in one sentence, what the class is meant to understand by the end of it. We ask that question first and everything else follows from the answer.

Then we do the unglamorous work: the recce, the timing, the toilets, the eating arrangement, the wet-weather alternative, and the two hundred metres of walking between the coach and the gate that nobody accounts for and every teacher remembers.

What we handle
  • One objective, stated Written on the plan, so the trip can be evaluated afterwards.
  • A written safety protocol, published in full and applied without exception.
  • Headcount discipline at every transition, recorded rather than remembered.
  • A costed plan showing the logistics, before the school commits.
  • One coordinator, reachable at any hour, travelling with the group.

What students come back with

Not photographs. Method.

Four things this programme is designed to leave behind. If it cannot deliver them, it is the wrong programme and we say so.

01One objective, statedWritten on the plan, so the trip can be evaluated afterwards.
02A site that has been seenWe do not put a group somewhere we have not walked ourselves.
03Timings that survive contactBuilt with real transfer times, real queues and real toilet breaks.
04A wet-weather planAgreed before departure, not improvised in a car park in the rain.

The shape of it

How the days are built.

A shape, not a schedule. Yours is built around your dates, your year group and what the trip has to achieve.

BeforeThe objectiveOne sentence from the teacher. The plan is then judged against it
DepartureHeadcount and kitCounted on, counted at every change, counted off. Written, not remembered
On siteSmall groupsSplit so that every student is within sight of a named adult, with a rejoining time and a rejoining place
ReturnAccounted forFinal headcount before the coach moves, and a report to the school the same day

Length, region and season are set against your academic calendar and your budget. No prices are published because a school group is costed against its own headcount, dates and inclusions, never against a brochure rate.

Before anything else

A school buys supervision before it buys a destination.

Every programme on this site runs to the same written protocol. It is published in full, because a teacher who is personally accountable should not have to take it on trust.

  • A named supervision ratio for this activity and this year group, in the proposal.
  • Headcounts at every transition, recorded against a written list.
  • Certified instructors and their own equipment, or the activity is removed.
  • An evacuation route and named facility written for every night.
Plan this programme

Tell us the year group. We will call you back.

Two minutes to send, and a coordinator calls the school back. No prices are quoted until we know the headcount, the dates and what the trip has to achieve.

Also on WhatsApp.

  • A costed plan, not a brochure
  • Your dates and your year group
  • One coordinator throughout
  • The safety protocol in writing
