GCSE Workshops & Trips

Key Stage 4 learning experiences

Here we are, the big moment....those all-important GCSE's are on the horizon. But how do you revise and consolidate all that information in a way that will keep pupils engaged and working at their best?

Booking a GCSE school trip or workshop is a great way to consolidate and build upon the subjects and topics you have covered in class, as your pupils prepare for their exams. With a wealth of fantastic in school workshops and out of school venues, a GCSE school trip out of the classroom is a great way to support your teaching.

Research shows that the practical application of knowledge is a really effective method for learning and a school trip gives the ability to apply knowledge to a real-life scenario. A GCSE school trip is also a great way to encourage informal discussions among pupils, bringing the subject to life and making the learning process fun and exciting. This is hugely advantageous for a GCSE group as a trip can help to breathe new life into a subject and ensure that your class is enthused and engaged in you topics you need them to master before their exams in May.

Short on time? We can help!

Let us find a GCSE level experience for your school trip.

Whether you are teaching a mandatory GCSE subject or a chosen subject, a school trip is a great way to prepare your class and set them up to achieve fantastic grades. While your class are sitting in the exam hall, they will be able to think back to the experience and recall all of the exciting things they learnt.

Unable to get out of the classroom? You can always book a workshop provider who could visit your school. This is a fantastic option that affords many of the benefits of a school trip while saving on travel costs and planning time. There are lots of options to choose from, all of which will provide you with the benefits of engaging your class and igniting a passion for your subject.
