Educational Visits by Curriculum Subject
Primary & Secondary School, College & University Trips
Some school trip venues are clearly targeted at, and suitable for, a specific subject within the National Curriculum. Other educational visits may cover a range of subjects and can tailor the experience to fit your current topic. The venues listed under the subject headings below are perfect for primary schools and secondary schools alike, and each individual venue we list details for will give an indication of the suitable Key Stages.
The UK day trips you will find below are well suited for primary school children or Key Stage 1 and Key Stage 2, as well as secondary school students. We feature educational visit experiences that can bring the Victorian age to life through participation and role play, art galleries offering learning resources far beyond the budgets of most schools, and science centres who offer hands on experiments and engaging topic workshops. If budgets are tight, take a look at our workshops section, and bring experts into your school.
If you require any help or advice while organising your primary school trip, please get in contact and we will be glad to assist you.
