Anglia Tours Ltd

What will students see and do?

Looking for school trips to Europe and battlefield tours for schools? Anglia Tours offers high-quality educational trips across the continent that allow Key Stage 3 and Key Stage 4 students to visit important historic sites based in France, Germany, Belgium and beyond.

Students will have the opportunity to delve into the history of Europe, including the Western Front, with options to visit WW1 trenches and key sites including the Ypres and Somme battlefields. Many study experiences with Anglia Tours also cover the WW2 timeline, with educational visits to the site of the Dunkirk evacuation or school travel to visit Auschwitz in Poland.

History school teachers can also enrich students’ understanding of the French Revolution by taking classes to visit the Palace of Versailles, the site of the Bastille and the Conciergerie, where Marie Antoinette spent her final days. Students will also have the option to explore the culture and history of Paris by visiting the Louvre and taking a trip on the Seine.

Teachers who choose to stay local to the UK still have plenty of school trip ideas to consider, including London walking tours. Guided walks can help students better understand life on the Home Front while British troops, then known as the British Expeditionary Force (BEF), were fighting abroad in the Second World War. This history trip could cover stops at the Imperial War Museum and the Cabinet War Rooms. Other popular tours in London involve crime and punishment in Whitechapel, with a must-see Jack the Ripper tour.

How does the trip link to the curriculum?

Anglia Tours offers bespoke history school trips that are tailored to your class’s needs. Travelling across the English Channel opens the door to engaging and thought-provoking opportunities for learning outside the classroom. School trips abroad will enrich the knowledge students have built through their studies with impactful in-person experiences at places of interest, like WW1 battlefields and key World War II sites.

European battlefield tours offer a number of opportunities for further learning, from trench warfare and WW1 weapons, such as machine guns, to life in Nazi Germany and the beginnings of the Cold War. Students can also learn more about the Holocaust with a history tour beginning in Berlin, where Adolf Hitler planned the Final Solution, and culminating with gas chambers and crematoria at an Auschwitz tour.
