YHA School Trips is the exciting new product designed to eliminate the hassle of arranging group residential visits. YHA school trips guides users through YHA's completely revised programme of packages for pupils of all ages.
They have put together a comprehensive range of packages, all linked to the National Curriculum, along with all the information you need in an easy-to-use website. www.yhaschooltrips.org.uk and a comprehensive brochure. You can still just choose to stay and eat with YHA, but can now also choose from one of our excellent off-the-shelf trips or put together a bespoke visit and then sit back and let us deal with the arrangements. Why is this venue great for School Trips and Educational Visits? YHA's latest range of "Learn 4 Real" Key Stage 2 residentials is available from just £30 for two days. Courses offer all-inclusive activity breaks delivered entirely by on-site staff at selected centres throughout England and Wales. Teachers can take a back seat whilst specially-trained YHA employees guide visiting pupils through a series of tried and tested educational sessions, closely-linked to key National Curriculum areas. All course costs include: an overnight stay, all meals, free planning visits, free leader places (1:10), all activities, free school membership of YHA, access to all facilities, and alternative activities for wet weather. For more details visit www.yhaschooltrips.org.uk £1 million funding available. Despite government commitments to school trips, many children don't get the chance to go away with their schools because their parents simply cannot afford it. As a result a third of children miss out on vital learning out of the classroom. YHA School Trips helps to fund places for financially disadvantaged children so they can join their friends or classmates on residential visits with YHA (England & Wales). A £3 donation from every YHA membership subscription goes into this designated fund - which now stands at one million pounds. For more details visit www.yhaschooltrips.org.uk What does a typical school trip or educational visit include?
We cater towards Key stages 2,3,4, AS level and A level. What size groups do they cater for? We cater for groups of 10 - 100. What can they provide you with to support your school trip or educational visit? Due to the variety of courses available individual teacher packs are available upon request from your chosen centre. With more than 75 years of experience, you can be confident in the knowledge that we will make planning your residential visit as easy as possible. Our dedicated Group Reservations team is here to assist you with all aspects of your residential visit. Simply contact us to discuss your requirements. In order for group leaders to familiarise themselves with the property, accommodation arrangements, and to meet the staff, your chosen centre will provide a FREE bed and breakfast planning visit* for up to two people (subject to availability) prior to your stay. Can you take photos, video or audio? Are there any copyright restrictions? We are happy for children to take photos, video or audio, if appropriate. How do you arrange a risk assessment? The welfare of participants is our prime concern and we invest heavily in our duty of care.

Is specific clothing required? Due to the variety of activities available from YHA, each centre provides a specific kit list. All essential activity and safety equipment is provided, but pupils will need personal clothing, footwear and toiletries. We recommend that pupils leave new and expensive belongings at home. Do you have first aid on site? A qualified first aider is available at all YHA school trip centres. What facilities do they have for school trips and educational visits? The facilities available vary from centre to centre, but generally you can expect a lounge and dining area, gardens or grounds, a games room, a self-catering kitchen, a shop, drying rooms and comfortable bedrooms. Many centres also offer classroom facilities with a flip chart, white board, overhead projector, TV and video. As most centres have a shop pupils might want to bring a small amount of money to buy souvenirs or snacks. YHA also provide excellent services to make your stay as stress-free as possible, including: wet weather activities and excellent meals service. Are there disabled facilities? We believe that our centres should be open and accessible to everyone. That aim long pre-dates any legislation to compel accommodation providers to meet the access needs of people with disabilities. Each new hostel is designed to offer wheelchair access, decorated in colour schemes to aid people with visual impairments, and many have had induction loops and tactile signage installed. While a minority of hostels have specific facilities for guests with disabilities, most can offer limited facilities, and aim to be as flexible as possible. Facilities vary widely; so always contact your chosen centre before booking to ensure the facilities are suitable for your needs. Featured Listing: NoMore Information
