UK School & Student Visits from France

Are you based in France and considering a school trip or student visit to the UK?

Travel from France to the Isle of Wight in just a few hours!

The Isle of Wight is the UK's Island Classroom, offering a wide range of learning opportunities for all age groups in many different subjects. Our rich history began 120 million years ago with the dinosaurs, then more recently the Roman and Norman invasions of Britain, and the establishment of Queen Victoria's family home.

Our Island features many natural wonders, including the incredible rock formations of The Needles and Alum Bay, and the fossil-rich eroding chalk and sandstone cliffs which form our coastline of golden sandy beaches.

One of the sunniest and warmest parts of the UK, the Isle of Wight is within easy reach of London and many airports - including Heathrow, Gatwick, Southampton and Bournemouth. Cross The Solent (the stretch of water separating us from mainland UK) by ferry or take a flight on Europe's only commercial hovercraft service.

Just 385Km² and welcoming millions of visitors each year, the Isle of Wight is easy to travel around whilst you sample everything we have to offer - from world-class watersports and outdoor activities such as tree climbing, through to a diverse range of visitor attractions including museums, animal sanctuaries, theme parks and much more. Our venues offer high quality teaching and learning resources prepared in English, which cover many different subjects including sciences, history, geography, geology, mathematics, arts, engineering and more.

We're confident you won't find a better destination for your overseas student visit to the UK and we'd love to welcome you to the Isle of Wight. Why not contact us and tell us your plans.
