Education Visits

Educational visits and school trips help enhance the social, personal and emotional development of all learners and encourage children and young people to engage with the public and places. 

Our approval system EVOLVE is an online tool for planning and managing educational visits, on-site activities, after school clubs and sports fixtures.

It is currently used by over 19,000 schools across the UK, and more than half a million staff have used the system to efficiently plan and approve 1.2 million visits and activities – and counting!

It helps schools, colleges, trusts and Local Authorities to improve and simplify the process of planning, approving, monitoring, evaluating and reporting all learning which takes place outside of the classroom. 

It is proven to reduce paperwork, simplify procedures, produce self-review and inspection preparation data, and improve staff confidence in that they automatically follow both employer, and National Guidelines.
