Everyone's boarded, the luggage is loaded up and the coach departs school for the journey to the Isle of Wight
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 the Isle of Wight 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 crossing to on the Isle of Wight, across waters which are generally quite sheltered
IW Donkey Sanctuary
A registered charity providing a secure, peaceful and happy home for donkeys, horses and ponies which have been neglected, abandoned or are in need of lifetime care.
Beautiful Golden Sandy Beach
Appley offers a wide golden sandy beach on one hand, but also offers lush parkland with play areas, cafes, an intriguing gothic tower folly and evidence of wartime defences in Puckpool Park nearby.
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!
Reach For The Sky!
Students will learn how to (safely!) climb a huge oak tree giving far-reaching views across the Solent back to the mainland.
Traditional Seaside Fun
Home to the world-famous Alum Bay coloured sands and the birthplace of ship-to-shore radio, The Needles Attraction offers a great trade-off beween learning and fun.
Up Close and Personal
Get up close and personal with the world-famous Needles! This short boat ride includes a detailed live commentary, which can be adapted to suit your age group or topic of interest.
Fossil Fun
A purpose-built interactive dinosaur and fossil museum conserving the rich collection of artefacts discovered primarily on the Isle of Wight.
Journey to a Forgotten Land!
A mini-golf adventure that takes players on a prehistoric journey into a forgotten land full of dinosaurs! Includes water features and life-sized dinosaur models.
Queen Victoria's Holiday Home
Bring history to life and get a real insight into the private lives of Queen Victoria, Prince Albert and their children by visiting their Isle of Wight summer residence.
Gorgeous Soft Sandy Beach
Sandown Beach is one of the Isle of Wight's finest and most recognised beaches, with miles of soft golden sands crowned by Sandown's pleasure pier and topped off with spectacular chalk cliffs. Popular with tourists and surfers, Sandown is a traditional 'bucket and spade' holiday beach with all that you expect from an English family beach.
Professional DJ Party Evening
The highlight of the week - one of our talented and experienced professional mobile DJs will lead the group through a 2 hour fun fest of music, lights, dancing and games (age appropriate).
After a short drive to the mainland it's time to get back on the ferry for the journey home to the "north island" as we call it...
It's a crossing to 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.
