Parents Information
At STS we believe that parents and families play a key role in helping students succeed and this is why we have developed our Parent Portal. This new directory is aimed at including you in your child's educational tour experience. Full for useful websites, such as weather information, currency conversion, world time zones, relevant Government news and manifestos, we hope that it will be of good use to you.
We are committed to ensuring that the service we provide is the best and this commitment ensures that many school groups travel with us year after year. We pride ourselves on our experienced staff and our flexible service which allows to tailor-make each tour to suit the specific needs of every group. Our high level of repeat business is testimony to the high level of satisfaction of our clients. We detail all of the core information you may want to know about STS below, and the service we provide.
Safety & Security
STS is part of the Education Travel Group, a major UK tour operator specialising in a complete range of educational travel arrangements for schools, colleges and groups. As such we have unparalleled backing and are able to guarantee the highest level of safety management and support service as well as complete financial security. When you book with STS then your booking is in safe hands.
Safety is our number one priority and we have an independently audited Safety Management System to help ensure your child's safety at all times. We are also members of the School Travel Forum which is a group of leading UK school tour operators who work together to promote good practice and safety in school travel. As a member of the School Travel Forum we adhere to a rigorous Code of Practice and Safety Management Standards which meet the requirements of DCSF (Department for Children, Schools and Families) guidelines and are externally verified each year by suitably qualified independent Health and Safety professionals.
Learning Experiences
Children between the ages of 5 and 16 spend only 15% of their lives in school. We appreciate that it can sometimes be difficult for working parents to give their children the support with learning outside of school which can be essential to their development. You can rest assured that learning outside of the classroom is our specialist subject!
Experiencing another culture and being introduced to another country's politics and socio-historical background is learning in itself but combined with our specifically developed itineraries bursting with exciting and education excursions you have the perfect tool to bring classroom studies into every day life. For more information regarding 'Learning outside of the Classroom' please read the Government's user-friendly Manifesto. To download a copy click on the following link: www.teachernet.gov.uk
