Testimonials

The children had an excellent time on the Isle of Wight. One child said it was the second time they had been on a beach and they were loving it. I asked when the first time had been and they said that morning!
West Hill Primary, London Trip to the Isle of Wight
We love our trips through the SJA, they are well priced, accessible for all of our children, and the support throughout the reservation period to departure is fantastic!
Wimbledon Park Primary, London Trip to Bologne
We are back in Nairobi and I would like to sincerely thank you for the amazing Italian trip! Everything was well organised and very well thought out, catering very well for the children we had. I thank you for all the work you put in to make this trip a success. We are pleased to recommend SJA to other schools.
Cavina School, Kenya Trip to Italy
The children had a fantastic time on the Isle of Wight and the SJA were of great support in organising the trip.
Bishop Perrin Primary, Twickenham Trip to the Isle of Wight
Once again, we had a fantastic school trip to Bayeux, Normandy. It was such an enriching and exciting experience for all our children. The trip was planned and organised so carefully with the help of Camilla from SJA. After working with SJA for many years they always provide excellent service. Thanks for another great tour SJA!
Redriff Primary, London Trip to Bayeux
The School Journey Association organised every detail from beginning to end so we didn’t have to worry!
Greenleaf Primary, London Trip to Dieppe
Androulla was always available and helpful with some very good suggestions. Everything was organised perfectly - even the weather!
St. Joseph Junior's, London Trip to the Isle of Wight
Choosing the SJA has for many years been our guarantee of a successful Year 6 tour that can be enjoyed by children and adults alike.
New End Primary, London Trip to Etaples
Paris was everything it lived up to be. We packed in 6 activities into 2 days. It was a fantastic experience, loved by all. It was the first time 10 students had travelled abroad and an experience some student would not have been able to take part in without the grant funding. Some had never been on a train before!
The Ripley Academy, Derbyshire Trip to Paris
Receiving the grant from the SJA has meant that children who would not normally be able to take part, can make what, for many, is the trip of a lifetime and something they will remember for the rest of their days.  Some of our children rarely make trips outside of their own homes, even to the local park, so this is a real adventure for them - and the chance to spend real quality time with their friends.
Greenleaf Primary, London Trip to the Isle of Wight
I just wanted to say a very big thank you to you and your team for all that you have done for us in organising our wonderful residential trip to Bournemouth.  The children and staff had  a super time (the weather helped!!).  The hotel staff couldn’t do enough to help and the food and hotel itself was fab.
St. Mary's CoE Primary School, London Trip to Bournemouth
We had a fantastic residential trip. Thank you for all your help with organising and booking. Media City was new to us this year and was much enjoyed. The children all enjoyed Beauty and the Beast (and so did I!). As usual, the other activities and the youth hostel were great.
Coniston Primary, Cumbria Trip to Manchester
Our school really loved the trip that the School Journey Association arranged for us to the Isle of Wight. It was well thought-out and everything was provided, despite the trip being organised quite late in the day. Thank you very much.
Moreton Primary School, Essex Trip to the Isle of Wight
Everything was perfect including the weather! The itinerary ran like clockwork with no problems at all. The hotel was good and the food delicious, Lynda was extremely helpful and accommodating.
Bollin Primary School, Bowdon Trip to Isle of Man
We would love to book through SJA again as you are so good at what you do.  Thank you so much for your help and I look forward to working with you next year.
Primary School, London Trip to Bayeux
Thank you so much for organising our school journey, it all went swimmingly! The weather was beautiful so we had plenty of time for playing on the beach and jumping in the waves. The food at the accommodation was spot on and the ladies knew we wanted to serve the food- so fabulous! The coach was a dream- we'd certainly like one similar next year, as were our drivers Terry and Sam. Thank you for organising such a wonderful trip!
Redcliff Primary School, London Trip to Bournemouth
Thank you for organising it, everything went as planned. The bus drivers were on time and the service was fantastic, especially I would like to say that Ruben (the Spanish driver) was very helpful and did a fantastic job driving us everywhere during the week and even guiding us through Bilbao.
Burntwood School, London Trip to Santander
A great success, much due to SJA’s excellent organisation and contacts.
Trinity School, Croydon Trip to Greece
Our Year 5 children have just returned from another thoroughly enjoyable trip made possible by the School Journey Association. Thank you!
Bishop Perrin Primary, Twickenham Trip to the Isle of Wight
We had a super trip with everything going to plan. The children really enjoyed the visit and are busy preparing a display at school. One boy had never been to the cinema or a museum before and he said he had run out of words to describe what a wonderful time he was having. Also the yellow caps meant we could easily see the children at all times.
Coniston Primary, Cumbria Trip to Manchester
SJA made everything so easy; the stress of  booking the hotel, coach,  ferry and visits was taken away and made simple. Their staff were very accommodating and helpful even when I made sudden changes. I would recommend them without reservation.
St Joseph’s Junior School, London Trip to the Isle of Wight
Thank you so much for organising our trip to France.  We had a wonderful time, with great visits and amazing weather.  All the children and staff thoroughly enjoyed themselves and got a huge amount out of the trip.
Head Teacher, Primary School in London E16 Trip to Dieppe
Just a quick email to let you know we are back safe and sound and I believe the whole group had an amazing time.  Well they were all happy and laughing when they were collected at least.  So thank you very much for organising the trip it was a great experience for them (and me) to be able to have. Everything ran smoothly and we made all our connections perfectly.
College in Sidmouth Trip to Lausanne
Just writing to say that we had a wonderful trip; all arrangements went extremely well, all hotels were most agreeable, our tourist guide was excellent. Staff and children were well cared for, which made my job easy and enjoyable. Thank you for a brilliant time.
Secondary School in Croydon Trip to Greece
The trip was a real success. Thank you for all your work on it. The guide was outstanding……we shall certainly look to using SJA after two successful trips with you now. In particular, we find your flexibility and helpfulness a real aid!
Secondary School in Croydon Trip to Greece
I’m told the trip was a great success…and I’ve been asked to thank you for all you have done by and on behalf of the teachers who went.
