Reward Trips for school groups

Memorable days out

How can fun reward trips celebrate student achievements?

End of term reward trips offer adventure parks, theme days, and team activities. They are a useful way to boost motivation through enjoyable group experiences.

Reward trips are the perfect way to celebrate your students' hard work and achievements throughout the year. Whether as a reward for working hard in their exams, for good behaviour or just as an end of term treat, a reward trip lets your students know that their efforts have been noticed and appreciated.

School trips are usually academic in nature, allowing students to further their understanding in various curriculum subject topics, but sometimes schools just want to give children who have worked hard a memorable and enjoyable experience with their classmates.

We have lots of ideas and inspiration for reward trips suitable for every key stage. Popular rewards trips include day trips to activity centres for a spot team building, water sports or an indoor rock climbing venue. Maybe explore a local museum or historic landmark, or spend the day at a theme park or wildlife zoo, sealife centre, or a trip to the circus. Schools in London can take a speedboat tour, climb on top of the O2 arena, or take a themed bus tour of the capital.

We are regularly asked to recommend venues by UK schools, and having worked with the following venues for at least a couple of years, we have had plenty of great feedback from the teachers who have visited on reward trips.

Wherever you decide to take them, the day trips below include lots of ideas to make a fitting reward for your group. Or use the short purple form on this page to tell us where you are and what you want to do and we will help you find the perfect school reward trip!
