We understand that learning resources form an important part of a language tour. Our free Go Explore educational resources are a great tool for pupils to record their language experience and build their confidence when exploring another culture, language and location.
With space to add information, pre-visit notes, a daily journal about what they’ve seen and learnt and space for relevant vocabulary our journals are useful for assisting in controlled assessment preparation and is a valuable memento of time spent abroad.

“We were all very well catered for during our stay at NST’s château. There were no complaints from the children (which is quite an achievement!) and staff really appreciated the refreshments in the teachers’ lounge after a long day! We were very pleased with the venue and would like to return in the future.”
