Supporting students with SEND and ASN
Inclusive Experiences. Exceptional Outcomes.
Every student deserves the chance to experience the benefits of learning beyond the classroom. We know that creating an inclusive trip isn’t about following a set formula. Every group is unique, and every student’s needs can be different.
Whether you’re considering accessibility requirements, sensory needs, medical considerations, anxiety or individual support arrangements, we’re here to help you plan around SEND and ASN with confidence. By combining your knowledge of your students with our expertise in educational travel, we can explore the options, answer your questions and help create an experience that’s right for your group.
Early conversations, meaningful support
The earlier we start the conversation around SEND and ASN, the more opportunity we have to understand your students and identify the arrangements that will help them get the most from their trip.
You don’t need to have all the answers from the outset. We can start with what you know, talk through the possibilities and work alongside you as your plans develop. Throughout the process, we will provide practical guidance, honest advice and support, helping you make informed decisions and prepare for a successful trip with confidence.

Sensory needs, neurodivergence and anxiety
Every student experiences educational travel differently, and we know that busy airports, unfamiliar accommodation and bustling cities can bring challenges that aren’t always easy to predict. We’re here to help you plan with confidence.
Whether you’re considering sensory needs, autism, ADHD, anxiety or other individual requirements, we’ll work with you to understand your group and explore the options available.
By starting the conversation early, we can help identify suitable arrangements and support students in getting the most from their experience.
Religious and cultural needs
We believe educational travel should be an inclusive experience where every student feels respected and able to participate.
If your group has religious or cultural considerations, we can work with you to explore available options and help identify practical arrangements that may support your students whilst travelling.
Open conversations from the outset allow us to better understand your group’s needs and plan accordingly.
Dietary requirements, allergies and intolerances
Food plays an important role in every trip, and we understand that dietary requirements can be a key consideration for both schools and families.
Whether related to allergies, intolerances, medical needs, religious observance or personal preferences, we’ll help you understand the information required and discuss available options with our suppliers.
Early communication is essential, allowing everyone involved to work together to support students throughout their journey.
Disability and mobility support
Every trip is different, and accessibility can vary depending on the destination, accommodation, transport and planned activities.
By understanding your group’s requirements, we can help you explore suitable options and provide clear information about accessibility considerations. We’ll be open and honest about what is possible, helping you make informed decisions and plan a trip that works for your students.
Behavioural needs
We know that students thrive in different environments and that some may benefit from additional planning and preparation before travelling.
By working closely together, we can discuss any behavioural considerations within your group and explore practical arrangements that may help students engage positively with the experience. Our role is to support you with information, guidance and honest conversations so that everyone can approach the trip with confidence.
Planning Your Trip Together
Every group is different, which is why we take the time to understand your students, discuss your goals and explore the options available. From your first enquiry to the day you travel, we’ll work alongside you to help create a trip that’s right for your group.
Start the conversation
Phone, email or Teams – choose whatever works for you. We’ll get to know you, your group and what you’re hoping this trip will be. Share any SEND, ASN or other considerations with us as early as possible. Don’t worry if you don’t have all the details. We can start from where you’re at.
Shape your tour
We’ll work together to shape your itinerary, exploring possibilities along the way – from destinations and accommodation, to transport and activities. We’ll identify options that suit your students and support your objectives, and give you an honest price – with no hidden extras.
Launch your trip
We’ll help you get everyone on board and plan with confidence. We’ll provide clear guidance on the arrangements available, helping you make informed decisions and ensuring key requirements are agreed and documented. We’ve got your back.
Book and feel supported
As your trip approaches, we’ll continue to support you and ensure everything is in place for a successful and rewarding experience. You’ll get access to My Tour Manager – your trip details at your fingertips – and your very own Tour Designer who’ll look after you every step of the way too.
Helping students feel prepared
For many students, knowing what to expect can make all the difference. That’s why we’re here to help schools access the information they need to build confidence before departure.
Our team can provide details about accommodation, transport, activities and your itinerary, helping you prepare students for the experience ahead. If there is specific information that may help a student feel more comfortable and confident, we’ll work with you to explore what can be provided.
To support planning even further, we also offer complimentary inspection visits, giving teachers the opportunity to experience key aspects of their trip first-hand and consider what’s right for their group.
Insurance and peace of mind
Appropriate insurance is an important part of planning any educational trip, and we’re here to help make the process as straightforward as possible.
If a student has an underlying medical condition, this may need to be disclosed to the insurer so that the appropriate cover can be considered. This relates to the medical condition itself rather than a student’s disability.
If you’re unsure what information may be required, our team can guide you through the process and help you understand the next steps, so you can plan with confidence and focus on creating a rewarding experience for your students.
