How does the trip link to the curriculum?

Schools Into Europe is able to create a trip linked to any academic subject, to meet curricular outcomes and to ensure students have fun. Below is a selection of some of the subjects catered to.

Art trips

From day trips to London art galleries to tours of Italian exhibitions, the options for discovering art in different European cultures are varied.

In Paris, pupils can visit the Louvre, Centre Pompidou and Picasso museum. In Barcelona, they can immerse themselves in Modernisme, with Gaudi’s architecture and the Sagrada Familia.

Amsterdam is home to the Van Gogh Museum, as well as the Rijksmuseum. In Northern Italy, Florence is an opportunity to explore the birthplace of the Italian Renaissance.

French trips

There’s nothing quite like immersion in a language to rapidly take students to the next level.

School trips to France can include a range of destinations, from Paris to Lille. Your group will have the opportunity to explore a different culture and learn about European history, all while developing their French language skills.

It’s also possible to take a day trip to France, with a visit to a local boulangerie and traditional village.

History trips

Specifically designed to meet curricular outcomes from Key Stage 3 to A-level, the history trips packages can take place at a range of locations across Europe.

Students studying medieval and early modern history can visit Normandy to learn about the Norman conquest. A trip to Belgium and Holland can uncover the history of the low countries.

In Rome, pupils can learn about the rise of fascism. This can be offset with visits to museums and art galleries, as well as ancient Roman ruins.

Maths trips

These present an opportunity for pupils to learn the real-world applications of the mathematical principles learned in school. A trip to the Bletchley Park Museum of Computing tells the story of how coding and numbers became the devices we use today.

In Barcelona, a visit to the CosmoCaixa Museum invites students to try out interactive exhibitions. This shows the real-life applications of maths and science.

Music trips

These range from day trips to London’s West End, to an opera discovery in Italy. Students can uncover the roots and passion behind the music they study and love.

An Italian tour can include a guided visit to the Gran Teatro de Fenice, one of the most acclaimed music halls in the country. In Paris, pupils visit the Paris Philharmonie concert hall and museum.

Your school choir can even experience being performers at Disneyland Paris.
