School English Literature trips
Did you know that you can bring English literature to life for your students with a school trip abroad?
Visit the places which inspired some of the world’s most celebrated war poets on your next English school trip, to bring to life the context in which their poetry was crafted.
For example, your students will see beyond the words of their study pieces to the sentiment behind them with visits to places like the Essex Farm Dressing Station in Ypres, where John McCrae wrote In Flanders Fields after the death of his friend, Lieutenant Alexis Helmer.
The poem has become synonymous with the sacrifice of soldiers during WW1, so a visit to the WW1 battlefields will certainly allow your students to gain a deeper understanding of the inspiration behind it.
And in the Somme, you can follow in the footsteps of Wilfred Owen, or visit key locations from Sebastian Faulks’ Birdsong.
We also offer school trips to London, where we can arrange for you to enjoy a theatre performance of the play you're studying, as well as a backstage tour of one of the capital’s most prestigious theatres.
