School group travel and trips
School group travel
School group travel is something that everyone remembers doing at some point during his or her education. Whether it was a school group trip to London Zoo, where you learnt that a zebra is a black horse with white stripes and not the other way around; a week long school French exchange trip where you learnt how to tell your host family which vegetables you don’t like; or a gruelling Himalayan trekking expedition where you learnt how to use crampons; years later you’ll still remember where you went, the lessons you learnt and probably who you sat next to on the coach journey.Why is school group travel so important?
 |
School group travel abroad enhances self-confidence, teaches school children to explore the world safely and can embellish lessons learnt in school. School trips aren’t just a jolly for the school children, or because the teachers have run out of ideas in the classroom; school group travel is about learning outside in the fresh air, experiencing things for yourself and solving new challenges and problems in a different environment. It’s because these school trips are a break from the timetable norm that the lessons learnt and experience gained stays with you forever. |
School group travel with World Challenge
Here at World Challenge, school group travel is what we do best and we’re quite clearly biased to promote the benefits! However, we’re not alone in singing the praises of school travel. Recent surveys exploring the effect of school travel and studying abroad, concluded in a positive and indisputable influence on the self-confidence of students. The experience of school travel and study abroad impacts on the participant’s life for years after the experience.* |
World Challenge offers a diverse range of school group travel experiences ranging from adventurous school day trips in the UK to 4-week school group expeditions to more exotic locations. Although studies show that the longer the school trip the more gained from the experience, a one-day school group adventure is not without certain benefits of its own. With the structure of a World Challenge school group trip, a lot can be achieved in a day! |
So whatever type of school trip your group decides on, prepare yourself to reap the rewards!
"Learning outside the classroom helps pupils understand their subjects better and increases their self-confidence. School trips also help young people explore and learn about risk and how to manage it." Ed Balls, Secretary of State for Children, Schools and Families
