Recognising the attractions, providers and people creating and supporting inspiring school trips
A special initiative
The annual School Travel Awards recognise inspiring people and the best companies, venues and attractions providing school trips. There’s big prizes for schools too.
Organised by School Travel Organiser magazine, this special initiative celebrates learning outside the classroom and raises the profile and importance of school visits.
Nominations for most categories have now closed, and you will be able to vote for your 2025 winners from our shortlisted finalists when Round 2 opens soon. Schools can still win big via the ‘My Best School Trip’ and School Trip Champion Awards - see below.
Save the date: the 2025 awards ceremony will take place on Friday 21st November at the Royal Lancaster Hotel, London. To stay up to date subscribe to our free newsletter by clicking here.
