How can you offer Learning Outside the Classroom in winter?

Due to a misconception of the term ‘Learning Outside the Classroom’, the practice of learning outside the classroom is often abandoned in winter.

The misconception is that ‘Learning Outside the Classroom’ means learning in the outdoors, when this is not at all the case. Indeed, Learning Outside the Classroom implies any environment other than the typical classroom setting.

Winter is therefore a great time to plan indoor activities (outside the classroom) such as visits to museums and theatres, to name a couple. But for this you will need cost-effective transport, which is where Benchmark Leasing comes in.

Leasing a minibus with 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.
