You’re not alone—around HALF of ALL our overseas school trips are squeezed into a 10-week window between May and July!
We get it. It’s easier to plan residential visits after exams, providing a well-deserved reward for students. But by limiting trips to the summer term, you could be missing out on key benefits, like fully capitalising on the progress students make on their trip and avoiding the high prices caused by peak demand.
Our research shows that an overseas trip can significantly boost students' confidence and progress. These valubale learning experiences shouldn't just be an end-of-year treat—they should be integrated into the school calendar as a vital part of the syllabus. In fact, taking a trip earlier in the academic year will amplify its impact on both students and teachers.
To help you present the case, watch the short video above highlighting the top reasons to consider an autumn-term trip. Share it with your headteacher or include it in your next trip proposal.
We’ve also provided a handy downloadable presentation summarising why Autumn is the best school trip choice.
