Packed with top tips, invaluable advice and teacher-led discussions, the latest edition of the Learning Outside the Classroom Yearbook is available in print and online for schools that want to organise effective and memorable educational visits.
Covering a range of topics and the school trip organising process from start to finish, the LOtC Yearbook is brought to you every year by the team at School Travel Organiser, offering a large resource to help you throughout the year.
The 2025 edition is the biggest yet, full to the brim with a range of ideas that are sure to help you with all of your educational visit efforts.
Financial considerations for educational visits is always a big topic, and the 2025 edition has a dedicated feature which highlights how you can make budgets stretch further through different schemes, low-cost ideas and alternative transportation.
There’s also plenty of overseas inspiration as a range of school tour operators talk about how to take your learners abroad without breaking the bank. They also suggest the questions that you should be asking yourself when thinking about going overseas.
Elsewhere, there are plenty of teacher tips from those who have learnt big lessons while on the job, and we also hear from headteachers who have set an LOtC culture across their school, and cover the planning that is needed to take pupils with SEND safely off-site.
The aim of the Learning Outside the Classroom Yearbook is to provide you with an essential reference tool which is full of great ideas and advice to help you plan and deliver successful school trips and residentials.
You can also discover an A-Z of where to take your school, theatre trip ideas, essential EVC skills and much more.
Editor, Harry Rogers, said: “It’s always a big task to put together our annual Yearbook, but I’m sure the hard work from the whole team at School Travel Organiser has paid off as we have some really interesting features to help inspire teachers and EVCs.
“Whether it’s specific planning tips from those in the know, or a variety of trip ideas which really boost positivity in young people, I know you’re sure to find something useful inside.”
