We are excited to announce that our Vietnam trip (which took place towards the end of 2023) has been shortlisted for the "My best school trip" award at the annual School Travel Awards. This prestigious award receives entries from schools across the country, so to even be shortlisted is an incredible honour.

Well done and thank you to Mr Briscoe (Teacher at Carisbrooke College) who organised the trip. It provided students with the most amazing opportunity to experience a completely different country first-hand and foster cultural awareness, empathy, and a greater global perspective.

The awards ceremony will take place on 29 November 2024 in London. Not only will the winner get the trophy and acclaim, but a cool £2,000 to spend on a future educational visit. You can read about all of the finalists here: School Travel Awards

“Overall, the trip succeeded both in re-energising learners and providing them with an enriching educational experience that helps to take their studies beyond the confines of the classroom, but also in enthusing young people to grow in maturity, independence and experience.” Mr Briscoe

“This trip has helped me to develop as a person as I could have never seen myself doing, seeing or even eating many of the things I did, such as walking through tunnels, watching traditional Vietnamese musical performances or sleeping out in the Vietnamese jungle." Eleanor, 15
