Welcome to this new forum designed to help Educational Visits Co-ordinators (EVCs) and anybody organising a school trip find the best destinations.

The success of the forum will rely on you guys letting us know about the successful trips you've organised and why they worked so well. We hope that over time this forum will build into a valuable resource for anybody looking to organise a school trip.

Our Resource Bank holds some useful background material on school trips - check out the school trips section by clicking on the link below
