What will students see and do?
On one of the school trips abroad planned by England Sports Tours, students will have the opportunity to explore countries around the world, including:
– Australia
– Argentina
– Canada
– France
– Italy
– New Zealand
– Portugal
– South Africa
– Sri Lanka
– USA
– Zimbabwe
The sports and activities that students will participate in relate directly to the culture and history of the destination. This gives students the chance to participate in sports that they’ve perhaps never played before, and maybe never even heard of, as they learn about different cultures.
The sports that students can participate in include things like:
– Athletics
– Basketball
– Golf
– Rugby
– Swimming
– Tennis
– Water polo
– Cricket
– Football
– Hockey
– Netball
You can focus on one sport, or a variety.
How does the trip link to the curriculum?
England Sports Tours obviously ties in extensively with PE, and personal development such as teambuilding and communication.
Students will also learn about the history of the different sports that they are participating in, getting valuable insights into how they were introduced to various countries.
Finally, since many of the tours take place overseas, this is the perfect opportunity for teachers to educate students about geography, and practice language skills.
Subjects covered
Teaching resources provided
All the sports activities are led by instructors from England Sports Tours. This means that pupils learn how to play the sports as well as receiving additional training and information from the instructors at the England Sports Tours team.
You can bring your own resources as part of this trip, and England Sports Tours will work with you in the initial planning process to ensure that these can be linked in with the sports and activities your students will participate in.
Minimum and maximum group size
School groups are encouraged to bring between 10 and 30 students, as fewer than this may mean that you won’t have enough people for certain activities or sports.
Similarly, groups larger than 30 are more difficult to coordinate, and could lead to limited availability of certain sports and activities, or the need to rotate students between various activities.
Details of risk assessment
England Sports Tours conducts extensive inspections of all the accommodations and activities that are included as part of your tour.
School groups are required to have insurance, and you’ll need to bring your insurance documents so that you can safely participate in activities. Groups are also encouraged to require permission slips for students.
