The established Queen Mary University of London has joined forces with this year’s School Travel Awards initiative.

Queen Mary University of London is sponsoring Best Science Venue as part of the School Travel Awards


It’s the latest partner to sign up to back the annual awards campaign, which recognises the best school trip providers and operators, as well as schools and teachers who put learning outside the classroom (LOtC) at the forefront of what they do.

The university is sponsoring the award for Best Science Venue, one of 17 categories in total, to highlight the best in school travel and LOtC.

Commenting on the support, Simon Barlow, commercial marketing manager (pictured left at Queen Mary University of London, said: “We’re very pleased to be involved with the School Travel Awards for 2018/19.

“Queen Mary University of London has been involved in a number of innovative partnerships with schools to help improve standards of education and inspire young people to fulfil their potential.

“As part of the School Travel Awards, we look forward to celebrating the role that venues, attractions and destinations have in contributing to the wealth of Science learning.”
