Everyone's boarded, the luggage is loaded up and the coach departs school for the journey to Portsmouth
Trip Diaries are distributed so that everyone has something to keep them quiet
Toilet stops will be taken as necessary
After a timely arrival at Portsmouth it's time to get off the coach and head upstairs to the open deck or the passenger lounge for a good look around. For many students, this will be their first time at sea
It's a 40 minute crossing to Fishbourne on the Isle of Wight, across waters which are generally quite sheltered
Quintessential Romantic Castle
Sitting high and proud at the heart of the Isle of Wight, Carisbrooke Castle has been an artillery fortress, king's prison and royal summer residence.
Splashing Good Fun!
The Isle of Wight's bounciest and wettest attraction with over 20 massive obstacles to tackle, plenty of free-fall slides and fun but challenging elements to explore.
Stunning Golden Beach
Shanklin Beach is a one of the Isle of Wight’s best known stretches of golden sands, which backs onto a traditional English seafront promenade. The beach is located on the south east coast of the Isle of Wight, with groynes keeping the sand in place and a high sea wall and pavement promenade between the sea and the Esplanade.
Outdoor Adventure
Discover 88 acres of stunning parkland - where adventure meets tranquility. Every visit is an opportunity to connect with nature, explore together, and create lasting memories.
Theatre Workshops and Shows
Spotlight Theatre Company takes over Shanklin Theatre to offer a variety of educational workshops and a summer season of professional evening shows tailored to the 7-14 age group.
Land of Adventure
The rightly-named "Land of Imagination" with many different attractions in one park. Everything from nursery rhyme characters through to pirates, cowboys, fairies, goblins and life-sized animatronic dinosaurs!
Ten Pin Bowling & Laser Tag
A popular evening activity with many of our groups, this indoor facility offers ten pin bowling and laser tag all under one roof!
After a short drive to Fishbourne it's time to get back on the ferry for the journey home to the "north island" as we call it...
It's a 40 minute crossing to Portsmouth on the mainland, and an ideal opportunity for everyone to eat a packed lunch before the onward journey
Back on the coach and now it's just a simple case of zipping up the motorway and back to school
The homeward journey should be a lot quieter than the drive down - hopefully everyone will be exhausted from having a great time here on the Isle of Wight and full of precious memories
Again, toilet stops will be taken as necessary
A great extra to encourage students to engage with their surroundings throughout the trip - they can also include a selection of our curriculum-relevant resources.
