Residential Trip Residentials London & South East Isle of Wight
The Isle of Wight is home to a vast array of highly educational and yet extremely enjoyable locations. We work closely with all of our based partners and venues to understand their provisions and limitations for visitors with additional needs. All our partner venues are required to provide sample Risk Assessments and all are encouraged to publish or develop comprehensive Access Statements.
- We can vary activities (both physical and academic) to suit
- We can adapt learning resources and activities or develop specific learning programmes
- Resources can be differentiated to provide inherent flexibility for mixed ability groups - all working to the same task but at different levels
- We can liaise with your SENCO and all of our partners to ensure we understand and are fully prepared for your students
- We will work with your chosen venues to adapt service provision as needed
- We can provide chaperones to boost supervision ratios helping limit the impact the trip will have on other staff
- We can arrange specialist transport, facilities and accommodation if needed
- We will be honest with you about problems we know you might encounter to allow you to come prepared
Whether you are a mainstream school with a minority of SEND children, or a special school with a majority, we will allocate you a dedicated account manager with extensive teaching experience that will "talk your language" rather than a sales droid.
Through our exclusive partnership with Victoria Lodge in the lovely seaside resort of Shanklin, we can now offer a unique SEND-friendly adapted environment to use as a base for your Island adventures. We also work with a range of other accommodation providers across the island of varying sizes and facilities, to ensure the perfect match for your needs.
We are an ABTOT member. ABTOT cover provides for a refund in the event you have not yet travelled or repatriation if transportation was included in your package.

Autumn Off-Peak Savings
Travel during the Autumn term and take advantage of off-peak accommodation and coach travel costs! Most of the hoteliers we work with are also more willing to consider short stays after the main holiday season. Typically, Autumn term trips to the Isle of Wight can be up to 20% cheaper than Spring/Summer visits - and yet the weather is usually just as good! Ask us for a quote today and see what we can do for you.
