From Shakespeare to Harry Potter, chalk-white cliffs to rolling hills, medieval castles to ultramodern architecture, the UK’s compact size means that the opportunities for exciting day-trips and stress-free residential visits are endless.

Visit London’s brand new Olympic stadium, experience space-travel at the Science Museum, and see street-art and Shakespeare on the South Bank. Beyond the capital, study eroded arches and prehistoric fossils along the Jurassic coast, and explore jungles and deserts at the Eden Project. Head west to the Victorian coal mines, windswept headlands and golden dunes of Wales, or travel north to discover Scottish history in Edinburgh’s fortified castle and cobbled streets.

School-trips in the UK present an easy and affordable opportunity for students to experience first-hand the landforms, artworks and historical features they learn about in school. Alongside developing a passion for their specific subject areas, students can appreciate the diversity, beauty and heritage of the UK, reflect on the people and places that shape our country, as well as reflect on their own roles and opportunities.
