Back to the Mainland

It's a crossing to on the mainland, and an ideal opportunity for everyone to eat a packed lunch before the onward journey

The Journey Home

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




Trip Diaries (optional)


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.
