Module 4: Identifying your priorities for a school trip

Aims and description

This module focuses on helping you think carefully about what matters most when planning a school trip in your context. It supports you to align trips with your school’s priorities, such as curriculum goals, pupil needs, and whole-school focus areas, so that every visit has a clear purpose.

You will explore how to make the most of each trip, helping you get more value from the time and effort involved. This means thinking beyond a single subject and considering how the experience can support wider learning.

You will consider how preparation activities can get students ready to learn, and how follow-up work can help deepen learning back in the classroom.

You will be encouraged to reflect on what is essential for a successful trip, helping you keep your planning clear, purposeful, and focused.

We aim to:

• Take a strategic approach to school trips

• Make effective use of time and resources
