School trips in Hampshire
The county of Hampshire has a wealth of school trip opportunities for schools, academies and colleges. Hampshire's major towns and cities include Basingstoke, Winchester, Portsmouth and Southampton where we offer the likes of Portchester Castle and Paultons Park. More rural and coastal settings like the New Forest and the Solent Coast, include the Countryside Education Trust, the Avon Tyrell outdoor activity centre, and the excellent Sustainability Centre, based in the South Downs National Park.
Another option for teachers looking for a new learning experience for their class is the spectacular Isle of Wight. English Heritage manage Carisbrooke Castle on the island and offer both free self led trips, as well as expert led workshops that cover a range of curriculum topics at various key stages. For those schools looking for water based outdoor adventure, look no further than Cowes and the UKSA watersports centre - a Hampshire institution that has been welcoming school groups for many years.

The Island Classroom
Do you like the idea of teaching your curriculum while your students minds are wide open? When better for them to learn than during the fun of your school trip? We are the Island Classroom, where you can combine fun with education in a unique way.



We give schools the unique opportunity to make their school trip so much more than they traditionally are. We allow the teachers to deliver their curriculum to students in an environment where their minds are so open and so ready to absorb information that the retention rate of knowledge far exceeds that when taught in a traditional classroom. Yes we can still offer the usual soft skill elements like tree climbing and camp fire building but now teachers can use these scenarios to cover genuine curriculum material, designed by local, expert teachers so that the school trip can now be more than an end of the year unwind for students....
