School Day Trips

School day trips are a fantastic way to get your pupils out of the classroom, and enhance learning through exciting experiences. They’re also a great way of showing younger people the best our country has to offer, whilst remaining flexible and affordable for those on a tight budget.

At WST, our in-house specialists work hard to create fun and interesting school day trip itineraries, which are specially designed to match your learning objectives and budget.

From the city to the seaside, wild moors to ancient monuments, we currently offer action-packed day trips for schools to:

Explore London’s world-famous sights

A school day trip to London is a great way to build your students’ confidence and enhance their learning outside of the classroom.

At WST, we provide London school tours for a vast number of subjects, from drama and performing arts to history, art and design, and religious studies.

So whether you explore the hands-on exhibits at the Science Museum, have a ride on the London Eye, or snag tickets to a top West End show, you’re sure to have a thoroughly entertaining educational day out.

Discover Edinburgh’s hidden secrets

With the thrilling Edinburgh Dungeon, the magical Camera Obscura, and hidden, winding, medieval streets, there’s so much to explore in the Scottish capital.

Whether you’re on a primary school trip or a secondary school group tour, we’ll always make sure all your activities are engaging and appropriate for the age of your students.

From history to theatre, drama and performing arts, we can arrange your day trip to suit a range of study topics – or simply as a welcome enrichment and reward adventure after a busy school term.
