The 2026 Awards Partners explain why it’s important to be involved with the School Travel Awards and celebrate this amazing sector.
“In our third year of supporting the School Travel Awards, we’re proud to recognise the educators and organisations delivering purposeful, well-designed travel experiences. At a time when real-world learning matters more than ever, the Awards celebrate trips that build skills, deepen understanding and turn learning into something lived, not just taught.”
“As one of the UK’s largest coach operators, supporting the School Travel Awards is incredibly important to The Coach Travel Group. Coach travel plays a vital role in making educational experiences accessible, safe and memorable, and we’re proud to celebrate the schools and providers creating these opportunities for young people.”
“For more than 90 years, Equity has been dedicated to enhancing the lives of young people through inspirational experiences, and we take steps to ensure those experiences are accessible to as many as possible. This year, supporting the School Travel Awards means supporting those who share our vision – something that feels especially important in 2026.”
“We’re proud to support the School Travel Awards, which shine a light on the people and partnerships behind high quality educational visits. As awards partner for the Best Residential Experience award, we’re celebrating the vital role residential trips play in helping young people grow in confidence, resilience and independence and recognising the care, expertise and commitment of the teams who make these powerful learning experiences possible in a safe and inclusive way.”
“This year, we’ve united our Experience Education family of brands around a shared belief that learning is lived through real-world experiences. We’re proud to support the School Travel Awards, celebrating those who create opportunities for young people to learn, grow, build confidence and discover their potential beyond the classroom while creating lifelong memories.”
“As we celebrate 40 years of supporting schools through educational travel, it feels especially important to champion the School Travel Awards. They recognise the teachers and providers raising standards across our sector and reaffirm the lasting value of safe, well-planned learning beyond the classroom.”
“Visits to museums, galleries and heritage sites offer pupils the opportunity to immerse themselves in the subjects they are learning. They give students vital access to new ways of learning, enabling them to deepen their understanding, expanding horizons and interests. The School Travel Awards are vital for championing and celebrating this work giving schools the opportunity to feedback and recognise these activities. The awards highlight the value and importance these organisations play in supporting the growth in confidence and subject knowledge in young people.”
“School travel is an important part of LeShuttle’s business and something we are passionate about supporting. By providing a fast, reliable link between the UK and Europe, we help thousands of young people access educational and cultural experiences beyond the classroom, creating memories and learning opportunities that can last a lifetime.”
“The School Travel Awards celebrate the impact and joy of school trips. They bring suppliers together to share knowledge and experience, helping to enhance the trips that mean so much to students and schools alike. By supporting these experiences, we help young people grow, spark creativity, inspire lifelong learning, and create memories that last a lifetime. We’re proud to support opportunities that make this possible.”
“We were delighted to win in 2025, and it mattered because teachers voted for it. That is exactly what makes the awards worth supporting: they are decided by the people who actually run school trips, they raise standards across the sector, and they keep learning outside the classroom in the spotlight it deserves.”
“We’re delighted to support the School Travel Awards, which shine a spotlight on how powerful beyond the classroom experiences are for young people. They’re a chance to celebrate the moments that unlock potential and champion our belief that these opportunities should be a given, not a privilege, for every child.”
“At Gravity, we’re passionate about the impact educational and reward-based trips can have on students. Supporting the School Travel Awards lets us champion the incredible experiences schools offer and inspire even more opportunities for learning and growth outside the classroom.”
“Visions in Education leads the field in cross curricular residential STEM trips to Euro Space Center, Belgium and NASA’s Space Center Houston. It is our honour to continue to sponsor the award for Best Venue for STEM Learning. The nominated venues are all champions in their field and vital to educational school trips.”
“Some of the most powerful learning happens beyond the classroom. School trips give pupils the chance to experience new places, put their learning into context and develop confidence and independence. The School Travel Awards celebrate the people who make these opportunities possible, recognising the time, care and commitment it takes to turn a trip from an idea into an experience that can stay with a young person for life.”
“Supporting the School Travel Awards reflects Warner Bros. Studio Tour London’s commitment to learning beyond the classroom and to celebrating the attractions and educators who create exceptional educational experiences for young people. The awards raise the profile of school visits and recognise their power to inspire, engage and enrich students’ learning.”
“YHA is passionate about school residentials and helping every child experience the outdoors. This year, as a charity, we’ve raised £200,000 to fund more school trips. Supporting the School Travel Awards reflects our commitment to enabling young people to enjoy life-changing educational adventures in our hostels across England and Wales.”
“Connecting people and places is at the heart of what we do at Irish Ferries. We are proud to support the School Travel Awards, recognising the value of educational travel in bringing learning to life. By connecting Ireland, Britain, and continental Europe, we help make school travel possible, opening opportunities for young people to explore new destinations, broaden their horizons and experience the many benefits of travelling together.”
