SCHOOL TRIPS
Whether a bus trip to the local zoo or abseiling in the Andes, modest or ambitious, the school trip has long been seen as an essential part of education; but is it really just an excuse for pupils to let their hair down and for teachers to have a jolly good time, or can 'out of the classroom' learning still be a challenge?
Sandi Toksvig considers the benefits of the school trip experience. She鈥檚 joined by David Craven, Director of the NST Group, an educational travel company; Lee Ward, Musical Director of the London Oratory School who has taken children鈥檚 choirs to New York, Lisbon, Poland, Prague, Barcelona and Berlin; and Martin Hudson who is a committee member of the School Travel Forum, the trade body for school tour operators.
They discuss the history, developments in destinations and activities, and health and safety considerations that have transformed the face of the school trip.
