FAQ

Questions teachers ask us most

What experience does Student Horizons have? +

Managing Director Jamie Wansey has worked in educational travel for over 20 years in the UK, New Zealand and Australia. Student Horizons has delivered over 600 successful education, music and sports tours helping to inspire over 16,000 students.

Every person in the Student Horizons team has travelled extensively and are passionate about providing those experiences to young people. From our founding in 2012 through to today, we have cultivated strong relationships with international schools, institutions, and service providers, putting us in a unique position to offer the best possible experience on our tours

What are Student Horizons’ most popular touring destinations? +

Our most popular destinations are Australia, New Zealand, Fiji, USA, UK and Europe.

What parts of the overseas school tour do Student Horizons organise? +

Student Horizons are here to make planning a tour easier than it’s ever been before, by organising just about everything! This includes international and domestic flights, land travel in your destination, accommodation, meals, billeting, educational excursions, sports fixtures, coaching clinics, concert performances, assistance with planning resources and risk assessment, tour guides, Student Horizons Logistic Directors (if requested), insurance, and more.

What safety measures do you take for your tours? +

Safety is our number one priority. Student Horizons has risk assessment procedures in place with all suppliers we work with. All of the services provided by our international ground handlers have undergone extensive risk assessment evaluations and these services are consistently monitored. In destinations we travel to often, we try to reuse the same suppliers whenever possible, so we can personally vouch for their reliability.

For every trip, Student Horizons ensures:

  • All travel related risks are assessed.
  • All involved parties are informed of the risks, and the associated preventative measures in place.
  • There are competent individuals carrying out the planning, organising, controlling, monitoring and reviewing of preventative and protective measures.
  • All health and safety obligations are met.

Our comprehensive safety management system, coupled with our incident management plan, ensure we are in the best position to mitigate risk and respond to incidents when they occur.

Is there a minimum group size? +

Student Horizons’ minimum numbers of students is 30.

When should we start planning our overseas school tour? +

We recommend booking your tour at least 12 – 18 months prior departure, depending on the financial situation.

What does the Student Horizons Logistic Director do? +

A Student Horizons Logistics Director is a member of the Student Horizons team, or one of our on-ground partners, who travels with the tour group to manage on-ground tour logistics. The Logistics Director’s main role is to make the touring experience as smooth as possible for the group. They will help get the group from place to place, manage bookings, and let you know when you’re supposed to be at which activity. If you have any questions about where you’re going or what you’ll be doing next on your tour, the Logistics Director can answer them for you!
