The Great British School Trip: powered by Hyundai
Join English Heritage on the Great British School Trip!
We are proud to be partnering with Hyundai for the second year to support The Great British School Trip, giving 60,000 young people access to exciting and inspiring educational experiences across the UK.
What is the Great British School Trip?
The Great British School Trip, powered by Hyundai, is offering a selection of free school trips and travel bursaries to reduce costs for schools, helping 60,000 young people access inspirational school trips. You can access:
- bursaries to help the schools most in need fund their trips, including booking fees and travel costs
- resources and administrative document templates to support teachers in their bid to get young people back on trips
The scheme links directly to the National Curriculum in the UK and, in partnership with several site partners including English Heritage, removes barriers to accessing inspirational experiences and provides carefully curated content to bring school trips to life.

Schools have the opportunity to apply to The Great British School Trip for a bursary for travel costs, or to cover the cost of a Discovery Visit workshop. This year, The Great British School Trip will fund 50 Discovery Visits workshops at English Heritage, usually costing £100 per class.
Applications for funding are managed directly by The Great British School Trip, so make sure you've sent your application to them. If you are successful, you will be given a code to book a Discovery Visit workshop free of charge.
