It’s been a busy and productive year here at TripPA, and we wanted to reflect on our adventure so far and share our excitement for what lies ahead in 2025. We couldn’t have got TripPA off the ground without some fantastic support from our community, family and friends – thank you for all your contributions and for being part of our journey!
When it comes to planning school trips, keeping everything organised can be a challenge. That’s why we created the Document Manager, an essential feature of the TripPA School Trip Management App. Designed to take the hassle out of managing paperwork, it’s another way we can help you run great trips without trip-ups.
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.
The most important part of any educational visit or off-site activity is the people that are on the trip! With large numbers of pupils it can quickly become cumbersome to manage all that information, and that’s where TripPA’s People Manager is here to help, ensuring you can run trips without trip-ups. This feature-packed tool, part of our School Trip Management App, simplifies every aspect of participant management.
As any teacher knows, when students head off on a school trip, their parents are left wondering, “what are they up to?”. And yes, parents always want those school trip photos and videos while the trip is happening! Traditional methods, like sending updates by email or text, are a hassle for teachers and parents, and it’s hard to manage securely. Enter our “Moments” feature, a social-style space in TripPA’s School Trip Management App that makes it effortless to share engaging media and updates with parents, in real-time. With trips without trip-ups as our promise, we’re here to make every educational visit safer, simpler, and way more fun to share.
Putting together an enriching and exciting itinerary for a school trip is one of the most important tasks in the planning of a successful educational visit, but it can often be an admin nightmare! With TripPA’s simple-to-use and intuitive itinerary manager integrated into the web and mobile apps, you can say goodbye to these headaches and save time.
After many years teaching alongside Amanda, I’m excited to embark on a new chapter as part of the TripPA team. I’m Rich, Amanda’s husband and long-time colleague, and I’ve recently joined her on the TripPA journey, as our innovative school trip management app nears completion!
As many teachers (including Rich!) head back this week, I’ve found myself reflecting on the past academic year and the change it has brought at TripPA, our innovative school trip planning app for teachers. I just received my first renewal notice for my website hosting—the first domain I’ve ever paid for and actually used—but TripPA is becoming so much more than that.
On International Women’s Day, we celebrate the remarkable achievements of women who have made significant contributions to the tech industry, particularly in the field of education technology (edtech). This year, we shine a spotlight on five inspiring women whose dedication, innovation, and leadership have paved the way for others in the ever-evolving landscape of technology.
At TripPA, we’re passionate about exploring innovative ways to enhance educational experiences. As we envision the future of school trips, we’re excited to push the boundaries of what’s possible with advancements in technology and imagination.
