School Primary Languages trips

Primary languages school trips abroad

Whether your group is learning French, German or Spanish, we can tailor-make a primary school languages trip to meet your specific learning objectives.

We can arrange day trips, or short overnight trips, to places such as Aachen, the Opal Coast, Lille, and Disneyland® Paris, as well as longer trips to places such as Barcelona and the Costa Brava, and Paris.

Wherever you choose to go, we’ll work closely with you to design a school trip packed full of age-appropriate experiences and visits, that will get your students excited about languages and the world around them.

Your primary languages educational tour can include visits to cultural and historical attractions, tasting of local foods and guided tours of the city. Your pupils will have plenty of opportunity to interact with local, native speakers and they’ll be able to compare various aspects of daily life in your destination with their own back in the UK.

And these experiences will help them to develop their intercultural understanding and help them to better understand and respect cultural diversity, setting them up for a bright future as open-minded, respectful global citizens.

Why arrange a primary languages school trip?

Students will soak up the language!

Primary school pupils are the perfect age for absorbing languages, so introducing them to foreign languages from a young age really is something to be commended and encouraged.

A totally immersive experience in France, Germany or Spain could greatly improve their listening and speaking skills, not to mention give them more confidence and encourage them to become more independent.

They’ll be able to use vocabulary learnt in the classroom in everyday, practical situations, which will greatly help retention and help to build their confidence in their language skills.

This early experience of travel and immersion in a foreign language and culture will help to foster your pupils’ curiosity. It will show them how knowledge of a language allows you greater access to its culture. And the experience will help them to develop the skills they need to learn any languages that interest them in the future.

Develop their intercultural understanding

Primary languages school trips offer pupils the unforgettable experience of immersing themselves in a foreign culture. They’ll see the similarities and differences between the culture in the destination and their own, and they’ll see that any differences are beautiful and fascinating, rather than something to be feared.

This experience at this young age will help to open their minds to other cultures.

They’ll learn that exploring other cultures and ways of life is an interesting thing to do and something that makes them more empathetic to others.

For some it may be their first time abroad. For others, it may not be, but it might be the first time they’ve been away without their families. For all of them, the trip will be packed full of cultural activities that will help them to get a real flavour of the local culture.

So, while there is plenty of educational value to a primary languages school trip in terms of exposure to the language and improving pupils’ language skills, there are also lots of benefits in terms of the children’s development.
