Our judges would like you to tell them the story of how your school has enhanced the experience of its students through innovative and life-enhancing school trips; share your pride in where you work and explain how student life is embellished through the programme of trips you deliver. Give us some
examples of what you are describing and share any data which supports your entry (but please avoid lists!). Most of all, give us a sense of the educational and societal benefit of the trips you have organised for your school community in 2023-24.

These are the key questions to answer in your entry: please make sure your entry focuses on your programme of school trips rather than on the wider life of the school.
