Cultural & Enrichment School Trips to London

Take your students on an exciting trip to London where the combination of historical venues, famous landmarks and a world-famous theatre district means there is no shortage of ways to combine culture and fun!

A cultural and enrichment trip prepares a student for the real world, is character building and creates amazing lasting memories.

They are suitable for all learning styles; we learn best when we can see, hear, and experience things first-hand. Here are some of the benefits a cultural and enrichment trip can provide:

  • Develop a sense of responsibility.
  • Be character building, develop students’ self-esteem, self-confidence, and self-belief.
  • Help improve social/interpersonal skills - the ability to communicate or interact well with other people.
  • The opportunity to experience cultures, respect differences, and develop new friendships with their peers.
  • Broaden their horizons and knowledge.
  • Encourages problem solving and teamwork.
  • Provides fond memories and long-lasting positive benefits.

Trips can benefit the teacher as well as student! Teacher’s get to observe the student in a different environment and see how they view the world; it can also generate ideas for the teacher to bring back to the classroom. 

For extra fun you can extend your trip and visit a theme park - Chessington World of Adventures or Thorpe Park. Contact us to quote for your personalised itinerary.
