As standard, we include a ratio of 1:8 for coach trips and 1:10 for air trips, but this can be tailored to whatever your school or local authority require. Please let us know if you require different ratios when you enquire.
Yes, and we publish our Safety Management System for the benefit of Group Leaders, teachers, parents and LEAs.
We have a great many risk assessments for most of the places that you may visit. However, there is no substitute for conducting your own risk assessments, as only you know the unique needs of the pupils and passengers that will undertake the trip. Check out our guide to school trip risk assessments for more information.
We do offer travel insurance for our trips, but it's an optional extra so it's up to you whether you add it to your booking. To find out more about it, head to our insurance page, where you can view the policy, along with some really helpful FAQs.
If you decide not to add this insurance to your booking, please make sure you do have alternative insurance in place that provides suitable cover.
We're usually able to arrange trips for groups with a minimum of 15 paying passengers (any fewer than this tends to make it quite expensive, in our experience). Occasionally it may be possible to arrange a trip for smaller numbers, including a coach-share option for smaller groups.
