We have prepared the following information in consultation with practicing teachers to help you plan a great school trip.
Planning
Free teacher planning visits
We understand that to get the most out of your visit you need to plan ahead. To help you do this we offer teachers a complimentary pair of tickets to visit the Castle prior to your schools visit once the booking has been paid for.
Free teacher tickets
We ask that children are supervised at all times. To aid in this supervision you will receive a free teacher ticket with every 10 secondary school pupil tickets booked or for every 5 primary school pupil tickets booked.
Help with your risk assessment
It goes without saying that the safety of your pupils is paramount. We endeavour to make your visit as comfortable, rewarding and safe as possible. Take a look at our risk assessment advice sheet for guidance.
Additional Information for Schools
To help you plan for the day of your visit please take a few minutes to download and read our Frequently Asked Questions document. This contains important information to make the best use of your time at Warwick Castle. You can also download our School Trips infromation pack for more details.
To help us give you and your group the best possible support on the day please ensure you and your colleagues have a copy of our policy document. This includes the essential information you will need on the day. There is also a section to fill in regarding your timetable for the day. We request you leave a completed copy with us upon your arrival.
