Why educational travel matters for every student: TTR Special with NST Travel

In this show from Teachers Talk Radio, hosts Tom Rogers and Darren Lester dive into the world of educational travel with two expert guests: Dr John Allan and Will Aitken, Head of Student Wellbeing at Accrington Academy. Together, they explore the profound impact that school trips can have on students’ resilience, confidence, and long-term personal growth.

From local excursions to life-changing international adventures, the panel shares heartfelt stories, practical advice, and the latest research on how learning outside the classroom can boost employability, wellbeing, and cultural capital. They also tackle the barriers like cost, logistics, workload and how schools and providers like NST are helping to overcome them.
