The Class Trips Blog
Useful information, helpful tips and recommendations for teachers organising primary school trips (plus, add your own blog post!)
Organising a school trip for primary can be a daunting task, so here you’ll find some handy resources to support you along the way.
We’d love to hear your thoughts and recommendations – feel free to comment on and share any of our posts. You can also get involved by writing your own blog post for us to feature, whether you’re a teacher or a school trip venue.
Blog posts by teachers
You could write about your experience of a particular school trip and what your pupils got out of it, or your recommendations for planning a school trip, the dos and don’ts, top tips, or how to extend classroom learning once you’re back in the classroom. If you’re on social media, don’t forget to let us know and we’ll tag you on our social channels.
Blog posts by school trip venues
Tell teachers about a typical visit to your venue, and what the children can expect to see, do and learn. There may be something unexpected, unique, or quirky about an educational visit to your venue that you’d like to share – and we’d love to read about it! Make sure you include a link to your website.
Create your blog in a Word document and include images in jpg format. Simply upload your blog and images using the form below, and we will review them for inclusion on our blog.
