Prepare for Excursions

Excursions form a major part of ANGLO programmes. They are intended to be fun and enjoyable but need to have structure and purpose so that they make sense in the context of the programme.

Here we look at preparing for excursions from multiple perspectives.

Preparation Students Receive

As part of their lessons, students learn about the places they will visit in the second lesson of each day. Care is taken to ensure students do these lessons before they go on the related excursion but due to timing and logistics, this isn't always possible.

In these lessons students have the opportunity to share what they already know about the place they'll visit, learn basic information about the place, and also receive an 'excursion challenge', some kind of task they have to try and complete during the excursion. In the equivalent lesson the next day, students feed back to the class on the results of the challenge.

Immediately prior to departure, ANGLO Leaders will brief students on the itinerary for the trip ahead including: transport, timings and safety information.
