Introducing Trip Proposal and Approval

25 November 2024
The number of school trips taking place in the UK has been declining in recent years – and it’s not for lack of enthusiasm from teachers or students. Although there are many factors feeding into this, the mountain of admin required just to submit a trip proposal isn’t helping. At TripPA, we believe no child should miss out on enriching experiences beyond the classroom because of admin overload. That’s why we’ve designed a solution to make planning trips as simple as possible for both teachers and Educational Visits Coordinators.

Instead of wrestling with various different forms and systems, teachers can now just click “Create New Trip” on the TripPA dashboard to get started. It’s as easy as it sounds. Enter the trip details – destination, purpose, dates, year groups, cost, and staffing – and you’re on your way to your next educational visit. Want to add a touch of flair? Upload a cover photo to make your trip proposal pop! Once the form is ready, it pings directly to the EVC for review.

You can click on the Create New Trip button to get started.

For EVCs, gone are the days of sifting through email chains or tracking down scattered forms. All trip proposals are neatly organised on their dashboard. They can approve trips, suggest tweaks, or provide feedback in just a few clicks. Teachers receive instant updates, ensuring everyone stays on the same page.

Once approved, the trip details entered by the trip lead automatically populate the trip cover page, which acts as the go-to space for all future updates and edits. Through TripPA’s easy-to-use and intuitive interface, everything is centralised, clear, and collaborative.

At TripPA, our goal is simple: Trips without trip-ups. Our School Trip Management App transforms the process from a headache into a breeze. Whatever educational visits you might have in store for your students, our School Trip Proposal and Approval feature ensures your trip takes off without a hitch.
