The School Trip Recenzje 

Fabulous support, very prompt replies to emails and very helpful in every way!

The staff were extremely helpful at the venue. The exhibition itself was breathtaking and the students reported they found it educational and very interesting.

They really helped find a suitable trip for our year group as well as affordable for our families. They didn't give up and after many suggestions they found us 'The Paddington Ber Experience!'
I had some very helpful people by email and by phone, but Hannah and Rachel come to mind!

Students had a great day out- they loved the blast off Rockets workshop and found the Filton Blitz experience fascinating. What a fabulous day out!

The whole booking process provided by The School Trip was fantastic and done with ease. The staff are very polite, friendly and helpful to provide you and your student with a great experience.

incredibly helpful in creating a fantastic trip for students. Help was always available and they were flexible when issues arose (on our end).
Thank you! would definitely use again.

The guide we had for the tour of Concorde was excellent. Well informed, enthusiastic about his subject, knowledgeable and at times amusing.

Our recent school trip to The Paddington Experience in London was truly memorable and exceeded all expectations. From the moment we arrived, the staff created a warm, welcoming atmosphere that immediately engaged the students and made them feel part of something special.
The experience itself was wonderfully immersive, bringing the world of Paddington Bear to life in a way that was both magical and educational. The attention to detail throughout the sets and activities was outstanding, allowing pupils to step directly into scenes inspired by the beloved stories. The interactive elements encouraged participation from all students, helping to build confidence and teamwork as they explored each part of the adventure together.
One of the highlights was how well the experience catered to a range of ages and abilities. Every child was able to engage, laugh, and contribute, making it inclusive and accessible. It was particularly lovely to see how the storytelling captured their imagination, with many students discussing their favourite moments long after the visit had ended.
The organisation of the trip was excellent. Staff at the venue were highly professional, friendly, and attentive, ensuring everything ran smoothly and safely. Transitions between activities were well managed, keeping the group moving without any sense of rush or confusion.
Overall, The Paddington Experience provided a fantastic balance of fun, creativity, and learning. It was not only an enjoyable day out but also an opportunity for students to develop social skills, curiosity, and appreciation for storytelling. We would highly recommend this experience to other schools looking for an engaging and well-organised trip in London.
A truly delightful day that our students will remember for a long time and excellent value for money for a school trip. Thank you

Absolutely fantastic. Easy to book, fab communication between staff and myself.
Overall would recommend to all.

The School Trip was great to work with when organising our trip to Hadestown musical in the West End. They were friendly, helpful, and quick to respond to any questions. Everything was well organised, making the planning process much easier and helping the trip run smoothly on the day. Our students had a fantastic experience, and I’d definitely use them again for future trips.

We would like to thank Colin for all his help with the booking, management, and ticketing for Matilda the Musical. It was a pleasure working with him, and we truly appreciate his guidance and attention to detail throughout the entire process. Our group thoroughly enjoyed the musical, and we will certainly look to book with you again next year.

Thank you.

Booking experience was great, no issues and very helpful and accommodating staff (Colin) that kept checking in throughout the process.
Staff at the venue were friendly and helpful.
Organisation out on the street and lobby was good.
Seating in the theatre and exiting the theatre was quite hectic but that's to be expected.
Would have been ideal to be seated in full rows - understand that there would be separation but we had pockets of 4/6 children randomly placed around. The random pockets were also seated at the back behind high school children - we are a primary school so was difficult for some of them to see.
Overall, well organised considering it's a central London theatre.

Support in the build-up to organising the visit was great. I was really impressed by the set and the actors. All activities were engaging and at an appropriate level for our children. Everyone had a great time!

The only issue we had was that on a rainy day, the children had to eat on the floor by the entrance, as we were told food from outside could not be eaten on the benches where the experience ends. I thought this was a little petty and school visits should really be an exception to this rule.

The communication was excellent. Colin and the team made the booking and payment process very easy. Everyone had a great time. We will definitely book another show with ‘the school trip’ soon.

Fantastic. Staff and pupils alike had a wonderful time. The visit was broken up into different sections which kept the children's interest piqued. I would encourage everyone to have a look at the Concorde exhibit which is breath taking. All of the staff we met were friendly and knowledgeable and seemed genuinely pleased to see us.

We had a great time at the Aerospace Museum with our Year 5 group. They really enjoyed programming the rovers in our Mission to Mars Workshop which was led brilliantly by Benji. Having lunch under Concorde was a real treat and the children loved exploring the exhibits and how interactive and hands on everything was.

Easy booking, great communication and information given

The School Trip were able to make the trip relatively seamless. They were flexible in terms of our payment plan and also proactively reached out close to the trip date to ensure all was in hand. Made my job a lot easier.

UPDATED 16.6.26

Following a very disappointing trip to the Ramses II exhibition (see review below) I was contacted by the owner of the School Trip, Tom, who was nothing short of exceptional in handling this issue. The experience was not his fault yet took accountability. Moreover he managed to sort a refund for me and my school. His customer service and communication throughout was exemplary and though I will still not recommend taking a school to the exhibition, I must recommend using The School Trip for any excursions. Thank you Tom.

I took 20 Year 5 and 6 KS2 children to the Ramses II exhibition in May. Unfortunately, the classroom and learning part of this trip was an absolute disaster. Before the children entered the building I wanted to make sure everything was set up for them and get un understanding of what the task was that they would be undertaking. The room was set up, but all the packs were for KS3 children. I told the booking department earlier in the week that we were Year 5 and 6 KS2 children. So there was a clear lack of communication there. I asked the man who was assisting us to please find more age appropriate learning packs and told him that we were Year 5 and 6 KS2 children. When I came back 10 minutes later with my children (Who I had explained to that there had been a mix up, hence the wait to go into the building) into the classroom, there were only 4 packs for the children and they all said Year 3 and 4 KS2 on it.

It was a at this point when I turned to the man and asked for him to print some copies so the children could share the pack 1 between 2 not 1 between 5. There was some reluctance when I asked "do you know how long that might take?" as the assistants response was "as long as it takes".

I looked through the activity packs and noticed that some of them had instructions like 'cut and stick out the following...' (No scissors or glue was provided) and build this model out of lego (No resources provided). Bless the kids, they gave what they could complete a really good go but the whole experience was a total waste of time and money.

It was time for the exhibition and upon walking up the stairs we joined the short queue to enter into the video room. For some reason we were made to wait for 20 minutes while people who joined the queue after us were let through. I didn't understand why the group of children were not prioritised? It had been an hour and half since we arrived and there was a part of me that wanted the whole experience to be over. Once inside, the exhibition was really good and there was lots of really interesting stuff. We have been learning about propaganda and bias in our Literacy / History lessons and many of the kids were asking me things like 'I wonder if Ramses was really this "Great" or did he claim this himself?' So there were many good learning opportunities.

I quite enjoyed the private chaperone who was lurking over our shoulders throughout the exhibition asking me to wear my backpack on my front. I've not had that before!

There was a wait for the VR (which is understandable) it was good fun and the children absolutely loved this part of the trip. They particularly enjoyed the jump scare midway though!

I wouldn't go again unfortunately and I won't be recommending this trip to schools thinking of taking KS2 children. There were some really good parts which were eclipsed by the disaster of a "lesson" and the wait time for the exhibition and the VR. Ultimately, The School Trip need to send the teachers the resources before the trip so that they can prepare the lesson and deliver it to their class. Any teacher will tell you how hard it is to enter a room and essentially "wing it" with no preparation. Alternatively, have someone delivering the content and actually teach a lesson themselves. The assistant said that the packs were all self explanatory and showed me the area at the back of the classroom for the teachers to sit and let the kids do the activity themselves. I often talk to other teachers about 'hooks' and how important it is to try and get the children invested in a lesson. It's unfair to expect children to be invested in a load of paper on a table with instructions to tasks they can not complete.

It'd be interesting to know if anyone from the company The School Trip have been teachers before as much of the content given to us, I could have been sourced from TES, Twinkl etc.

Great communication
Great organisation
Would definitely recommend
