lmaoo that sounds like a typical British trip

Simply put: In England, school trips are used to inhance the learning, especially in Primary school. For example: the Holocaust centre, Magna. Some Primarys have holidays. But, mostly, they are again used for learning purposes. Teachers do tell the kids that if they're naughty then they'll not be able to go on the trip but it's always a lie. My Primary school faced too much hate from the parents if they kept a kid behind. In Secondary, they are more recreational. There are more holidays in Secondary, which are usually for all years or most years. There are more trips for lower down in the school because GCSE students have to focus more on their learning. However, oddly, holidays are more common for the older years, especially language students. In Secondary, the naughty kids do get kept behind. They are given work to do and expected to treat it like a normal day. Schools don't have the funding to be able to own a coach, so the cost of the coach is split and added to the total cost for the parents to pay. For both schools, uniform is required depending on a trip. We're told we 'represent the school' so must look smart. Unless it is to a memorial, uniform is not required on holidays.

Yeah, in Primary we would have a residential at the end of year six to a nearby by place - usually for a week. In Secondary school, we would have an "activities week" at the end of the year with several different trips that you could go on. For example, Thorpe Park or Harry Potter Studios,. We would also have international trips in Secondary school that you had to do a particular subject to go on. For example, if you took History you could go to NYC and Washington DC for a week; if you took Geography, you could go to Iceland for a week, and if you took French you could go on the exchange. These would usually cost from £1-2000 Also, we had a one day trip to Ypres in Belgium once.

My high school sent us on a trip to the nearby prison twice. I mentioned it once at work like it was a normal thing and everyone was shocked 😂 I had to get one of my school friends to verify that it was true! Once the prisoners put on a play for us and then we split into groups and got to talk to the prisoners and a tour of the prison. The second time the prisoners had learnt about Anne Frank and put on a display for us and made a model of the annex. Looking back it's crazy!

I studied Mandarin for GCSE and when I was 15 I went to China for 10 days on a school trip which was AMAZING. Was the first time I had even flown anywhere! I also did a lot of music at school and they ran music tours abroad every 2 years. We went to Croatia and Bosnia for a week on one of those tours which was beautiful. My school also ran trips to Africa every 2 years for the Sixth Formers where you could go and help build schools and that out there. That trip I didn't go on but I had friends who had and they said it was amazing. Some smaller tripes we went on were going to France a couple of times, once for a language trip and the other was to Paris for an art trip. We also did an outward bounds adventure training kind of thing where we went to a facility in Wales for a week and did things like rock climbing, coasteering, archery and all that. I also did that a couple of times at primary school as well. I would say all in all that a lot of the trips you went on just depended on what you were involved with at school (extracurricular wise) and what subjects you took. For example, only GCSE Art students could go on the art trip to Paris. However, some of the trips were open to anyone like the China trip.

Primary schools: most have residential trips (for a couple days), where you can do outdoor activities while also learning. Also, fun day trips like zoos and such Secondary schools: trips mostly relate to what subjects you're taking. Most schools have a trip to France I think, but for example if you take a language you'll likely be able to visit the country at some point, or my school had a geography trip to Wales, History trip to Russia, Drama/Music trips to London to see musicals etc. There may also be day trips as well. Not being able to go on a trip is not really common and less you're a reallyyy bad student but I've never seen it. And you don't miss any school content because as Corry said, it's in the curriculum and no trips really take place in the holidays

We had what our school called "enrichment week" which was a couple of weeks before the end of term and every single international trip in the school would be scheduled on this week. If you didn't go on any of these trips then they organised "enrichment activities" to do. So people made benches for the school and some people painted a mural on the side of the school.

One of my most memorable school trips (NZ) we went to my house (year 3) to study a garden because at the time we have five gardens and chickens and I very clearly remember I wasn’t allowed to go into my house to get my homework I forgot.

In my public highschool I was never really in the classes that had feildtrips, like there was one teacher in the history department that would take his kids to Italy, criminal justice students got to tour in a prison, physics could go to Six Flags, stuff like that. And yeah the senior trip is super expensive; this year's would have gone to South Africa. But the senior trip also depends on if enough kids go to gather the money, so some years could only afford to have a picnic in a nearby park.

We spend a total of three of four days there, doing fun things. For the cabins, we were separated into groups of four (same gender). I luckily was with all my friends. We barely had any rules, other than wake up at 8 a.m. and go to sleep by 11 p.m. We got to go to lakes, to the town by the cabins (it had delicious ice cream), into the castle, into a watchtower and did fun challenges with our group mates. They are lots of fun and at the end of it, everybody either had a sunburn or a tan. Edit: I live in America and boy do the trips suck here.

In Irish secondary schools we have a year called “Transition Year” which happens in your fourth year. It’s either obligatory or optional depending on the school. This year is far more relaxed than others and is far more focused on personal growth and development. You tend to have a lot of trips during this year. In my school for example there was an overnight hike, going ice skating, going to a gym, going to Belfast to the titanic museum, an optional trip to Manchester to watch a football match, an optional skiing trip and an optional trip to Poland to name some of the more notable ones

In my primary school we went to places like the zoo, an open farm, science centres and museums and we went to a place called Castle Ward A LOT haha (I'm from northern ireland btw), which is basically a stately home that's now owned by the national trust and would have different themes and historical related events and the tour guides and people that work their would act like they were from whatever time period it was so you felt like you'd gone back in time haha. On trips like that were it was one day we usually wore our uniform but once we got to do the victorian thing were we dressed up (again going to castle ward haha)! In our final year of primary we got to go to scotland for a few days! In high school it was usually longer trips but you still went on the occasional one day trip to museums and things. I went on a theatre trip to London and a business trip to Birmingham (cadbury and alton towers). Other people got to go on trips to Poland or Normandy and Paris and places like that, they were usually history driven trips. There was also a skiing trip every year to somewhere in europe. Other schools in my area that tended to have more wealthy families would do trips to the states or places that would be more expensive. when I left school they also did a trip to New York which I missed out on!

I'm from Germany. I got to go to Italy (Rome), London for one day and after that we traveled through England for a few days. It was really cool. We could choose, though. We also went on a skiing trip to Austria and others went to Paris instead of England. It was all during school time, not during the breaks. It's so interesting to see, how those kind of things differ between countries. I love your videos, btw. Okay, bye. Have a nice day and stay safe! 😊

I remember having the option of going to the Pantomime each year in Primary School, that was always a fun time.

I’m 14 and English and live in the south of England ... my school does great trips For example this year (before coronavirus) I went to nasa in Texas for a week and Belgium and France :)

in england, school trips are literally used to back up the learning, especially in primary school. example: titanic museum (titanic), butser ancient farm (romans), belgium battlefields (ww1/ww2), intec science museum (anything sciencey), stonehenge (romans) . if you were lucky and your behaviour was acceptable, you got the chance at the end of each year to do 3 trips in a week to fun places. example: i went to longleat zoo, butser hill and chessington world of adventures. others went places like new forest wet and wild, thorpe park and ice skating. but mostly trips are used for educational purposes.

We also got promised a lot of reward trips for the good kids that never happened

My school doesn’t do trips cuz they’re “too expensive” even tho the school has plenty of money and we all know it

In elementary, I went on field trips to the art museum in my town, the zoo, old fashioned town to learn about the older way of life in the US, and parks. In junior high, I went on field trips to the high school, the university in my city, cedar point(amusement park), and the old fashioned town to learn about locked. In high school, I went to various other schools on trips for choir, contests and the like, Cedar Point, University, Wildwood(Nature preserve), NewYork (choir), and some more I can't remember. Most of the trips I went on were because I was an honors student, good at math, and involved in groups at the school most students around me didn't go nearly as many trips as I did. We let anyone who paid for the trip go unless they got expelled. My school didn't require uniforms although sparkling boots were too distracting and so was colored hair.

I know exactly how you feel with the homework. I was top of the second group for maths and there were tests that happened regularly to move people up and down between groups. They moved the second person in my group up to the top, but didn’t move me because I did no maths homework whatsoever. Luckily when the maths department got a new head, I moved up to the top group and then the top half of the top group whilst still doing absolutely no maths homework!

Omg I've been to Magna! I still remember there was a button on some kind of sound effects board that played an out of tune, creepy version of "Happy Birthday to you..." and it echoed around the room because all of the surfaces were flat and metal.

I remember going to dynamic earth in Edinburgh where they had they ice berg it was with the geography department when I was S2. I was also was meant to go to Iceland with my school but they had to postpone it due to quarantine.

When I was in year 7 one of the first history classes we ever had talked about the history of the school and it was so cool. I forgot a few details but this is what I remember: before the school was built there was a little cottage belonging to a married couple, but the husband either died or cheated on his wife (I can't remember), and then the wife hung herself from a tree. When the school was built it was originally an all-boys school which was haunted by the wife, but it soon turned into an all-girls school. When world war one/world war two happened it got converted from school to a hospital and there are loads of pictures of soldiers lying in beds in the great hall around the school. After the war, the hospital got converted back into an all-girls school were it was haunted by the wife and some soldiers who died there. In 1970 or something the school got changed into a mixed school for boys and girls, and to this day it is apparently still haunted, as some teachers who mark the books on-site during winter (it gets dark rlly early in winter) think they see the ghost of the wife and soldiers. I know the ghost part is probably fake but I still love my school's history and how we get taught about the ghosts in class. Also, my English teacher hates teaching in the main (and oldest) building because she apparently saw a ghost there.

when i was in year 5 our class got to go and explore the river thames at low tide we got to look for old pottery and old animal remains

Our field trips/“holidays” were very nature based in my school (I went to a Waldorf school in Seattle, which is relevant if you know what that is) and they were very mich part of the curriculum, every class went to the same place in the same year. I don’t remember a ton of my elementary school field trips, I think we went to museums, and I remember going to a big forest park and learning about the flora and looking at tree rings and stuff and we’d go to a farm often. In eighth grade we had a trip at the end of the year that was recreational, we went to Vancouver, BC and stayed in a dorm the university wasn’t using. I know some Waldorf schools that have more money do trips to Europe and stuff but ours had a mileage limit that didn’t go that far. In high school we did a week long camping service trip every year. Freshman year we went to a biodynamic farm, a week in September and a week in the spring. Sophomore year we went to the woods and helped with tree conservation. Junior year I studied in Switzerland for a couple months and missed the trip, and senior year we did a zoology trip to the ocean and dissected cuttlefish and looked at stuff through microscope and learned about seaweed and stuff, and then we had our service trip at the end of the year where we helped build houses in eastern Washington and then had like three days at the end that were more recreation (we went to Leavenworth) to celebrate graduating. Oh and we also did a fair amount of backpacking trips. We did a three day one in the Goat Rocks in eighth grade and I think that’s what they did junior year. We also did a trip before freshman year that was meant to introduce the class to eachother and was fun but also somewhat traumatizing because it RAINED in the dark while we set up camp and we were fully in the wilderness.

Field Trips in Europe are crazy if they are like here in Portugal. In middle school I went on a field trip to the UK and France, over a week and a half, visiting London and Paris... By bus. In Secondary school, I went to Spain by bus and the Azores islands by plane.

I swear in Birmingham you have like trips to Wales all the time. Especially throughout Primary, like every year there was an opportunity but my parents didn't trust me enough back then so Ive never been to Wales. But in Secondary, I actually got to go on a free History trip to Belgium to learn about WW1 and WW2 (my essay was Really good). Secondary, it's mostly mandatory GCSE subject trips like Geography fieldwork. But also other trips from like English and Drama where you went to the theatre and watched plays. My school was really lucky cause we had Activities Week. Basically the last week of school we got to pick activities to do for each day (except the Friday) and we would be in non uniform going to places like Bullring for shopping trips or Lazer-tag or go to Star City. There were also 'in-house' activities which were free like nail art or Minecraft. Or you could spend the whole week, including the weekend on a trip abroad to Amsterdam or Spain and stuff. Unfortunatly, the school decided to change that for Year 11 so they had Prom instead (which no one wanted) so it was pretty common to see Year 10s plan trips for their last Activities Week with friends. Fortunately, I had my last Activities Week last year so I didn't really miss out. I'm kinda sad for the current Year 10s though.

I live close to nyc so we always went on field trips. We went to see broadway shows, we went to china town, the museum of natural history, cnn headquarters, and Columbia university

As someone from St. Louis, a lot of kids nearby got to go to the City Museum. For those of y’all who don’t know what the City Museum is, it’s basically like a giant playground made out of an old factory. There’s a ten story slide, a school bus hanging halfway off the roof that you can stand on, a ball pit, a Ferris Wheel on the roof, plus a whole bunch of of tunnels and slides. It was probably everyone’s favorite field trip, so y’all should look up the place. We also went on trips to the St. Louis Zoo, the Science Center, the Butterfly House, and the Magic House, and those were pretty fun. But for band trips the band will go to places like New York, Chicago, Orlando, and Six Flags, for competitions, but they also stay for about a week and do other stuff.

This made me think back to high school and remember that my school never took us on trips in all 4 yrs. the only trips I went on were performances for Choir were we got to stop at the mall on the way back to get something to eat before heading back. Also Seniors at the end of the year (for $100) got to go to Grad Bash at Universal Studios/ Islands of Adventure which was a huge thing they did for a bunch of schools around the state for us to have the park exclusively to ourselves for the night and we got coach buses instead of school buses.

In primary we had a week long trip to the Isle of Wight. It was so fun and we had so many activities. In secondary we had end of year trips which sometimes had a religious element (I went to a catholic school) and in addition to that there were trips during the year relating to your subject. Trips became more focused in GCSE years like a coastal trip for geography students to identify and document various coastal features. We were let loose in small groups and had to meet back at the coach by a certain time

To reinforce the lesson by repetition, if someone understands the material from the lesson then homework is pretty pointless.

i’n from the uk and i remember a couple of types of trips. during primary school, we went on a trip every year to castles, battlefields, museums etc. every year we would also have a trip to a religious place of worship for each of the main religion (chruch, mosque, gurudwara etc.). in year 2 and year 6, we had residential trips where we went away to a activity park for a week. in secondary school, we went on trips every year to a theme park (drayton manor and alton towers). in year 8, we went on a trip to france or germany, depending on which language u studied, for a week. then there were also trips to colleges and universities which were to discuss higher education options. i was also in drama club, so we went to our local theatre a lot to perform.
