JCA - My School Trip Report

JCA are researching trends into school travel and would value your opinions, knowledge and expertise in order to help drive this forward. As a thank you, we will enter you in to a competition to win a £100 M&S voucher plus a £100 school travel voucher. The winner will be selected at random in January.

We are aware that not all schools participate in learning experiences outside of the classroom. This information is still of great interest to us and if this applies to you, we would very much appreciate your participation in the survey.

The results of our survey will be shared with the School Travel Forum and the Council for Learning Outside the Classroom, excluding the name of your school which we shall keep confidential.

Please forward this e-mail on to as many colleagues as you would like – this will in allow us to gain a better insight, enabling us to create better experiences and opportunities for students.

Thank you!
