Everyone's boarded, the luggage is loaded up and the coach departs school for the journey to the Isle of Wight
Trip Diaries are distributed so that everyone has something to keep them quiet
Toilet stops will be taken as necessary
After a timely arrival at the Isle of Wight it's time to get off the coach and head upstairs to the open deck or the passenger lounge for a good look around. For many students, this will be their first time at sea
It's a crossing to on the Isle of Wight, across waters which are generally quite sheltered
Reach For The Sky!
Students will learn how to (safely!) climb a huge oak tree giving far-reaching views across the Solent back to the mainland.
Stunning gorge
Carved by mother nature's hands over thousands of years, the stunning tree-lined gorge that is Shanklin Chine cuts its mark from Shanklin Old Village down to the sandy beach and esplanade below.
Lovely Sand & Shingle Beach
Totland Bay is a picturesque sandy beach, ideal for swimming, with clear turquoise waters and far reaching views to the mainland. The Bay is located on the West of the Isle of Wight, close to the village of Totland. The beach has a number of groynes along its sandy shores, backing onto a seawall where the sand turns to pebbles. The coastline here is rocky yet for the most part covered in a thick blanket of trees and greenery.
Theatre Workshops and Shows
Spotlight Theatre Company takes over Shanklin Theatre to offer a variety of educational workshops and a summer season of professional evening shows tailored to the 7-14 age group.
Land of Adventure
The rightly-named "Land of Imagination" with many different attractions in one park. Everything from nursery rhyme characters through to pirates, cowboys, fairies, goblins and life-sized animatronic dinosaurs!
Fun Intro to Surfing
Taking place in the safe, sheltered waters of Sandown Bay, iSurf offers surfing and paddleboard introductory lessons for ages 8+
Professional DJ Party Evening
The highlight of the week - one of our talented and experienced professional mobile DJs will lead the group through a 2 hour fun fest of music, lights, dancing and games (age appropriate).
Fossil Museum, Paleoart & Field Centre
Dinosaur Expeditions is a field centre based on the south west coast of the Isle of Wight, displaying fossils recovered predominantly from the local beaches, cliffs and fields.
Up Close and Personal
Get up close and personal with the world-famous Needles! This short boat ride includes a detailed live commentary, which can be adapted to suit your age group or topic of interest.
After a short drive to the mainland it's time to get back on the ferry for the journey home to the "north island" as we call it...
It's a crossing to on the mainland, and an ideal opportunity for everyone to eat a packed lunch before the onward journey
Back on the coach and now it's just a simple case of zipping up the motorway and back to school
The homeward journey should be a lot quieter than the drive down - hopefully everyone will be exhausted from having a great time here on the Isle of Wight and full of precious memories
Again, toilet stops will be taken as necessary
A great extra to encourage students to engage with their surroundings throughout the trip - they can also include a selection of our curriculum-relevant resources.
