It is not always easy to find Learning Outside the Classroom ideas, activities and attractions that both meet the demands of the curriculum and are best suited to your pupils’ interests and abilities.

In order to make the process of searching for relevant school trips easier, Educational Visits 2015 has put together an extensive online library of potential places to visit that will enhance pupils’ learning.

On the website (link below) you can search for educational visits by region, county, type, school subject and age group to find a suitable trip for your pupils and their education.

But of course, in providing your pupils with enriching LOtC experiences beyond the school’s immediate area, reliable and cost effective transport is required.

Leasing a minibus from Benchmark can often work out cheaper than buying a minibus outright (especially if one takes into account the re-sale value of a school bus at the end of its working life) or, indeed, hiring a coach each time.

It is an arrangement which makes it possible for schools to fund the minibus through a small payment each month, which has the added benefit of improved budgeting and cash flow forecasting.

What’s more, a full maintenance programme is included, so no matter the outcome of the vehicle’s services and MOTs the cost of repairs won’t affect the lease price.

For more information about leasing a minibus with Benchmark you can go to our website, call us on 01753 859944 or email minibus@benchmarkleasing.co.uk.
