As another school year comes to a close, teachers and students are looking for fun ways to celebrate the end of an era and what better way than an action-packed school trip? 

End of year school trips are a wonderful way to help pupils reconnect with friends, especially after a year of hard work and exams. Our school trips aim to educate through experience, strengthen student bonds, and enhance team-building skills while making lasting memories.

Let’s explore some ideas guaranteed to make any end of year school trip a truly unforgettable experience.

Give your class the chance to discover new destinations 

With so many beautiful destinations to choose from around the world, there is something for everyone. Seeing new sights and learning about different cultures can be an enlightening experience for students. To get the most out of your trip, encourage pupils to immerse themselves in the culture. Challenge them to speak the native language to the residents and try traditional dishes. 

Explore the colourful capital of Catalonia

Barcelona is famous for its spirited architecture, glimmering beaches and warm atmosphere, but it’s also a prime spot for a business studies trip! Take a trip to the dynamic Stock Exchange or the Port of Barcelona while immersing your group in the city’s rich culture. Enjoy mouthwatering local dishes and try learning a new skill, like the spirited art of flamenco dancing. 

Bring your studies to life in scenic Amsterdam

Amsterdam is the Netherlands’ capital, known for its rich artistic lineage, intricate canal system and narrow houses with gabled facades, legacies of its 17th-century Golden Age. This location is jam-packed with museums, galleries, and historical places, gripping your student’s imagination with captivating and compelling stories.

Immerse your class in the stunning atmosphere of Prague

Prague, the capital city of the Czech Republic, is bisected by the Vltava River. Affectionately known as “the City of a Hundred Spires,” it’s renowned for its Old Town Square, which is the heart of its historic core. The busy streets are filled with colourful buildings, gothic churches and of course, the mediaeval Astronomical Clock, which gives an awe-inspiring hourly show. Your students are sure to treasure investigating this iconic location, learning plenty about the country’s history along the way. 

Every time your students step out of the classroom, they are welcomed by an array of engaging learning opportunities. Whether you teach history, English or maths, or any other subject, there are countless learning experiences to take advantage of when you book an educational end of year trip!

Rome, a city steeped in ancient history

With an educational study trip to Rome, your students will feel like they’ve voyaged back in time! There’s something thrilling waiting around every corner of this ancient city, from spectacular ruins and mediaeval squares to beautiful fountains and opulent museums. When you’re ready to return to the present, sit and recharge whilst enjoying a delicious slice of pizza and recount your extraordinary discoveries. 

Delve deeper into the details of the war by booking a trip to Berlin

Packed with colour, culture and incredible learning opportunities, school trips to Berlin are perfect for helping pupils to bring their subjects to life. Once a city split in two, the bustling German capital has become a world-renowned hub of art, technology, science and politics. With unique shops and delicious dishes to try, having fun in Berlin is a piece of cake or perhaps Kuchen!

Enjoy a mix of culture and epic adventure in Switzerland

There is no better way for your pupils to have an educational adventure than exploring the world outside the classroom. Fortunately, a school trip to Switzerland will allow students to do just that! Switzerland school trips let you show students extraordinary sights such as the world-famous Swiss Alps, appreciate the sensational views over Lake Geneva, and understand Swiss culture and its moving history.

Iceland, stunning landscapes will capture the imaginations of both students and faculty

Iceland is perhaps the most outstanding destination for a geography school trip. The country lies on the boundaries between two tectonic plates, and its astonishing collection of waterfalls, mesmerising glaciers and geothermal wonders are adored around the world. In winter, you may also be treated to a dazzling display of the Aurora Borealis.

Take a trip to the star-studded streets of New York

What can be compared to a spectacular trip to the one and only Big Apple? Students can bask in the majesty of the Statue of Liberty, one of the most universal symbols of political freedom and democracy. Catch an iconic show on Broadway and stroll through the shadows of gigantic skyscrapers… New York is truly an unforgettable experience for everyone
