Exchanges and visits
Exchanges and visits that support language
learning, geography and science are popular with students and
parents.
Curriculum-based work that sets up reasons for the trip beyond
sightseeing and socials can be run through the year leading up to
the visit to ensure that students really gain from the experience
and build understanding. A link school can bring the visit
alive, and 'top and tail' the trip itself through an ongoing
project making it very worthwhile.
Initial visits
Teacher visits will precede the school trips. You can read
more elsewhere on this site about arranging, planning and funding
these.
Safety
Safety and procedure are of paramount importance. Detailed
guidance is featured in this section.
Programmes and funding
An immense amount of funding is available to support projects
such as this that involve 'mobility'.
