"Halsbury has always organised fantastic trips for us, and our latest visit to Iceland is no different! The trip was packed full of fun and engaging activities for our students! These ranged from whale watching to glacier walks! The communication and organisation with Halsbury make planning the trip so much easier than using other tour operators. They also offer excellent value for money, tailoring the trips to exactly how we would like them! They have the student's best interests at the heart of everything that they do!"

Let's Get Your School Trip Approved

Before you can launch your trip, you need to get it approved by your school.

What to Pack for Your School Trip

If you’re going abroad, it’s obviously really important to make sure that everyone has their passport and any visas required...

Supporting you every step of the way

Creating your perfect trip

Your quote will be put together by an experienced Tour Adviser who’ll be an expert in the subject area and will know the destination really well too. They’ll work with you to create a trip to suit your group’s needs and meet your learning objectives.

Launching your trip to parents and students

The next step is to get your trip approved and then get students signed up to it. Our ‘Trip Launch Pack’ will help you with this step. This is full of resources (all free to download) designed to make your life easier at this crucial point in the trip planning process.

After you’ve booked

Once you’ve booked, your dedicated Itinerary Coordinator will start work on the finer details. They’ll make sure your itinerary makes the most of your time and they’ll take on most of the admin tasks for your trip (freeing you up to do what you do best – teach).

Support while you’re away

From lost property to properly lost, we’ll always be on the end of the phone while you’re out on the trip. You’ll get a final info pack before you go, as well as access to all your trip documents via the Vamoos app.

After your trip

We’ll ask you for feedback, so we can improve our service. Let’s start planning your next trip too, so parents have plenty of time to pay (and so it’s less stressful for you). And don’t forget to head to our resources hub to continue the learning back in the classroom.
