Reward Trips
for school groups
Enrichment and achievement rewards
As a way of thanking and congratulating pupils for their hard work and achievements during the academic school year, many schools offer reward trips. 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.
If you are looking for reward trip ideas or inspiration for your class, we suggest the venues below are well worth a look. 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.
