Give pupils a boost ahead of exams with educational school trips

With A-Level and GCSE results falling for the first time in decades, it’s becoming clear that exams are harder and students may need extra help with their studies in order to get those exam results back up to a good level. If they’re taking exams in a foreign language, then that task becomes even harder – there aren’t many things more difficult than learning another language!

A part of the school experience that’s becoming increasingly important is educational school trips, which have largely replaced the traditional French or German exchange trip that parents or older siblings might have gone on when they were at school. These trips aim to immerse students in foreign culture and language through a packed itinerary which includes team-bonding exercises and excursions to local points of interest, resulting (hopefully) in them having a better grasp of the language both in writing and orally, which should stand them in good stead for the exams they’ll be taking.

rnVoyager School Travel, which has been operating since 1991, is one of the best-established and most respected companies for organising and leading school tours to France , Italy, Spain and Germany. Its team is vastly experienced in terms of dealing with large groups of excitable and rowdy children, and will work with teachers to create a programme that covers the relevant things that need to be learnt as part of the curriculum.

The contacts it has made over the years that it has been operating mean that it is best placed to offer stimulating activities and trips to everywhere from Disneyland Paris to the Normandy D-Day beaches, with a huge amount of other excursions on offer throughout the different countries in which it operates. Languages and language study are not the only elements of education it focuses on – it also offers music tours to Vienna, Salzburg, New York, and Venice among other locations, as well as trips with a focus on medieval and modern European history with trips to Berlin and Paris.

In addition, summer team-building trips can be booked which take place at eight locations around the Mediterranean and the Pyrenees, including in France and Spain, and include activities such as mountain biking, windsurfing and rock climbing. There are fully qualified instructors on hand at all times to ensure that safety regulations are met, and the emphasis on these trips is for students to have fun in French, German or Italian, rather than learn anything academically.

The company understands that you want to be sure that you’re making the right choice before you confirm your booking so it offers free brochures that can be ordered from its website for you to browse through and get a fuller idea of what it provides from location to location. You can also call its team to get more information or have a query answered, as well as to get a quote. You’ll soon see how one of its trips can benefit students and boost their exam results!
