Music teachers, looking for inspiration for your next tour? Take a look at the itinerary behind this feedback.

An evening rehearsal to bring the ensemble together. Performances in a lakeside town, a picturesque hill town and a beautiful piazza. And plenty to discover along the way.

The group's four-day adventure also included cruising Lake Garda, exploring Malcesine, taking the cable car above the lake, visiting Gardaland and discovering Verona.

Time to make music together. Time to explore together. And some inspiration for what your own ensemble could experience beyond the school gates.

Feedback Friday 🏉💬

“Another great week at Bath University.”

Brighton College’s Rugby Club headed to Bath for their pre-season with us, and we’re delighted to hear the trip delivered from start to finish.

From flexible planning and clear communication to support from their tour representative throughout the week, the squad could focus on what mattered most: training hard, building together and getting ready for the season ahead.

School trips are about more than just learning outside the classroom. They create memories that students will cherish for years to come. Seeing the smiles, excitement, and joy throughout the day made this visit truly special

We have enjoyed a fantastic final day in Barcelona.

The morning began at FC Barcelona’s training ground, where the students completed a highly rewarding two-hour session with yesterday's coaching staff. Following training, the group enjoyed some downtime at a local shopping centre—though whether all their purchases will fit into their suitcases remains to be seen! We then returned to the hotel to prepare for our concluding fixtures of the tour.

The Year 10 team delivered an outstanding performance to win their match 4–2. The team's cohesion and technical skill were exceptional throughout. Tia recorded a impressive hat-trick, while Amelia demonstrated impressive composure under pressure to score from the penalty spot despite local supporter distraction, earning her the Player of the Match award.

Despite a reduced squad following injuries in the previous match, the combined Year 9 and 11 team produced an exceptionally determined display to secure a 5–0 victory. Goals were scored by Emma, Zara (2), and Maddie (2). In recognition of her leadership as the sole Year 11 representative on the pitch, the Year 9 players unanimously awarded Emma Player of the Match.

The journey back to the hotel was filled with celebration—a fitting end to an unforgettable trip.

A 2028 ski trip gives you time to plan at a pace your school can sustain.

This term: shape the brief and secure approval.
Next: launch to families and confirm numbers.
Then: manage details and payments with support.

Start now. Spread the work. Stay in control.

Which stage would you like a simple checklist for?

We don't need to convince you that trips matter.

But you may need stronger evidence to convince everyone else.

Build your case around three outcomes:

1. Curriculum learning students can apply
2. Confidence, resilience and independence
3. Purposeful enrichment linked to school priorities
