Why Choose Diverse School Travel?

Why Choose Diverse School Travel:

Choosing who plans your school trip matters. You're trusting someone with your students, your budget and months of planning. You want to know the details will be taken care of, that someone is there if plans change, and that your students will come home having had an experience they'll remember for years.

That's why schools choose Diverse School Travel.

From your first enquiry to your safe return, you'll work with one named consultant who gets to know your school, understands your learning objectives and is there whenever you need them. We'll take care of the planning, paperwork and logistics, while your booking is protected through ABTA and ATOL, with 24-hour support throughout your trip.

1. A named consultant who stays with you

One of the things teachers tell us they value most is having one person who knows their trip from start to finish.

From your first enquiry until you're safely home, you'll work with the same named travel consultant. They'll get to know your school, understand your itinerary and be there whenever you have a question.

That means no repeating yourself, no starting again with someone new and no wondering who to call. Just one point of contact who knows your school trip as well as you do.

"Diverse School Travel make organising a trip super easy. Our consultant Matthew was amazing from start to finish. The trip was fantastic, the itinerary ran so smoothly and both students and staff had the best time!"

2. The planning and paperwork are taken off your desk

Planning a school trip takes time, and most teachers already have enough on their plates.

That's why we take care of the paperwork, supplier coordination, risk assessments and the detailed information packs. We'll manage the planning behind the scenes, so you can spend less time organising the trip and more time preparing your students for it.

"Bloody brilliant. I used Diverse to do a trip for my adult students to CERN and Geneva. I cannot in any way express how well-organised the trip was and how well planned. It took all the stress out of planning the trip so I could focus on enjoying the trip myself and supporting my students. Absolutely brilliant. If you are planning a school trip especially - you should use them, without a doubt!"

3. Safety is built into every trip

When you're responsible for a group of students, feeling confident in your school trip matters.

That's why accommodation, transport and activities are safety audited and risk assessed before you travel. We also provide 24-hour emergency support throughout your school trip and follow the Outdoor Education Advisers' Panel National Guidance. Schools can also ask to see our Safety Management System before they book.

"This provider is excellent. They plan all the activities and think about how we will manage a group of primary aged children safely. We had a great visit and managed to achieve our objectives really well."

4. Your money is protected

Diverse School Travel is bonded through ABTA and holds ATOL protection through the Civil Aviation Authority, so the money you commit to your school trips is protected. We are also a member of the School Travel Forum and hold the Learning Outside the Classroom Quality Badge.

5. Fixed and guaranteed pricing

You get one price that we hold for you. The process is that you:

• Book your tour and you have three weeks to fill it, with the price fixed and guaranteed throughout. 
• The figure you quote parents on day one is the figure they pay. 
• You have confidence that the budget set and quote given is correct to be able to send this information home to parents and guardians and to your SLT.
  
  

6. Itineraries built around your subject

Every school trip is curriculum-linked and tailor-made. The same place can work differently for different groups. We have developed a range of itineraries across different subjects and destinations. For example:

• A science group can stand inside CERN or study Iceland's volcanoes and glaciers in the field. 
• A history group can walk the Normandy battlefields or trace a day around London. 
• Language and art groups can head to France, Spain or a different destination. 
• Curriculum links run across Science and STEM, History, Geography, Art and Design, Classics and MFL, so you can start from Science and STEM school trips or History school trips and match the subject to the place.

"Excellent support from Sofia from start to finish: really clear information provided, and an excellent trip that the students (and accompanying staff) enjoyed and learned a lot on. Accommodation was spot on, convenient flights were chosen and the itinerary allowed for ample time to visit CERN and also explore central Geneva and take in an arts and history museum."

"Skilled provider of children's' great experiences."
Bob Gardiner, Google review

"Diverse School Travel and their travel representative Richard provided us with an exceptionally detailed itinerary and went the extra mile to cater for our needs and to adapt to upcoming changes during the process of planning the trip and the trip itself. Everything ran smoothly and both staff and students were very satisfied with the trip they organized for us."
Kaddi review

"From start to finish, the tour operator was brilliant. The designated rep from Diverse, Gioia, was excellent at communication, providing updates, providing detailed guidance, incl designing the itinerary. It was a stress free process and I would highly recommend Diverse. Students loved the entire visit as well as the accomodation - excellent rooms and food was just amazing. Well done Diverse! I am booking through them again this year - a trip to Florence and a trip to CERN."
