Students on a School History trip

School History Trips

Step into the story…

Our school history trips are the perfect opportunity to broaden young minds and put the past into a wider, real-world perspective.

Understand the effects that the rise and fall of the Berlin Wall, a symbol of division and reconciliation, had on communities. Or perhaps dive into one of the most iconic accounts of Jewish life during the Nazi era with a visit to the Anne Frank Museum in Amsterdam.

Immerse your students in social, military and political history with a visit to New York and Washington or explore the greatest invasion in modern history, D-Day, with a trip to Normandy.

Visiting the very places these world-shaping moments in history unravelled will captivate your student’s curiosity for exploring and interpreting evidence out of the classroom.

Course-specific and personal development, cultural capital  and history brought to life – all wrapped into one time capsule.

Had another fantastic trip to Krakow with Rayburn Tours. The trip was absolutely perfect; everything went according to plan and the students had an incredible experience. The service provided by Rayburn was consistently excellent, from the initial planning all the way through to the end.
