School trips to London are ideal because it is a local place with loads to offer students studying all subjects, from science to art and everything in between.

For the more artistic types, art galleries such as the Tate Modern and the Saatchi Gallery are great places to admire some of the UK’s most famous artworks, and the Warner Bros. Studio Tour – The Making of Harry Potter is a great way to get film and media studies students used to the dynamic day-to-day life in the industry. English and drama students can be taken back in time at the Globe Theatre where they can watch a Shakespeare play and learn about the plays themselves and how they were originally performed.
No matter what subject you are teaching, a school trip can be just the thing to help your students get a better understanding of it and to make learning about it a bit more interesting.
