It started with a school trip
Perhaps we're a little biased. But is it a coincidence that so many people's lives are transformed by what they learned and experienced on a school trip abroad?
About Halsbury
1962
Without a school trip to Interlaken in the early 1960s, would Keith have discovered a fascination for foreign languages – or pursued a French degree and teaching job?
1986
Armed with a belief that by supporting teachers we can create more opportunities for young people, Keith and his wife Sue started organising our very first trips. The big difference: as teachers themselves, they knew exactly what was needed – and what wasn’t.
2022
We became part of Literacy Capital, a business which has donated more than £9 million to literacy charities since 2017. One of the charities we support is BookMark – they aim to get every child reading.
Then, as now, we’re the school travel specialists. We know school travel changes young people’s lives, and we know how to support you at every step.
