Wartime Britain School Trips

London and the South

In London, students will learn more about what life was like in Britain during WW1 and WW2, with visits to the Imperial War Museum, Churchill War Rooms, the National Army Museum and the Royal Air Force Museum.

They’ll also have the opportunity to learn more about the importance of the act of remembrance, both for individuals and as a nation, with visits to the Cenotaph and Flanders Fields Memorial Garden.

And in Kent, they’ll learn more about the importance of aeroplanes in WW2, as they visit some of the airfields, where Hurricanes and Spitfires took off for battle.

They’ll also visit an authentic wartime hospital and could even explore a WW2 Destroyer.

Why arrange a Wartime Britain school trip?

Experience history

A trip offers your students the opportunity to deepen their understanding of what life was like in Britain during WW1 and WW2.

This is the history of the country they live in, and relatively recent history at that, but it can still feel like the distant past to teenagers. By taking your students away, you’ll bring this period to life for them.

They’ll be able to deepen their understanding of the effect that total war had on normal people and the way that the country was mobilised to support the war effort. And they’ll explore some of the strategic decisions and actions that were taken right here on British soil.

Inspire them

Your students will gain a deeper appreciation of how this period influenced British culture and continues to affect politics and society to this day.

They’ll start to understand how the study of history can help them to understand the world as it is now and this could help to stoke a real passion for the subject.

You may even inspire them to take their history studies further, just by helping to bring history to life for them.
