Year 5 London Adventure

Y5LA-Main-Logo

Diamond Adventures’ London Adventure programme offers a day trip to London, the UK Capital, FREE for every Year 5 Isle of Wight school with the aim to broaden the horizons of Island children. For some, this will be their first opportunity to get off of the Island.

For some, London is a dream! Often portrayed as a big scary city that only important people go to, we aim to break that barrier and expose the vibrant history and cultural side of London to the Isle of Wight.

Our London Adventure Programme would not be possible without the sponsorship from WightFibre and Red Funnel. We thank them for their support, with their help, this inspiring programme is completely FREE to Isle of Wight Year 5 groups.

John Irvine, CEO of WightFibre, provider of full-fibre broadband across the Isle of Wight said: ‘We all know people who have grown up on the island but never had the opportunity for a trip off the island. This programme aims to fix that. WightFibre is delighted to sponsor the Year 5 London Adventure programme with Diamond Adventures. We hope to help create unforgettable memories for every single year 5 pupil on the island’

Fran Collins, CEO of Red Funnel, the original Isle of Wight Ferries said: ‘We take immense pride in partnering with local businesses like Diamond Adventures. Supporting local children in accessing enriching cultural trips to destinations like London is essential in providing them with valuable experiences, and it is hugely important to Red Funnel that we play a role in making this happen. Our team is excited to welcome the children aboard our vessels and be part of their journey.’

Keiran O’Toole, MD of Diamond Adventures, provider of educational day trips & residential tours for schools said: ‘It is with upmost excitement that we offer this unique opportunity to primary schools on the Isle of Wight. As far as we know, there is nowhere else in the country where every school within a county is able to access a free trip like this. It is only possible that’s to the financial support from our friends at WightFibre & Red Funnel. If you’re a school teacher at an Island Primary School, get in touch today and we can start organising your London Adventure’

We hold Public Liability Insurance (PLI) and all of our transport, activity and accommodation providers have PLI & risk assessment measures in place which are routinely checked. All Diamond Adventures staff, drivers of Wight Coaches and other operators we may use are all first aid qualified, safeguard trained and DBS’d as standard

Once you have requested a quote, we will likely seek further information to provide you with an accurate estimate. This is a guide price that we estimate. Approximately 18 weeks before travel, we will issue you with a deposit invoice which is due 12 weeks before your departure date. We will then request your final numbers and issue you with a final balance invoice which is due 6 weeks before travel. If your numbers go down, the price may increase per head, equally if your numbers go up, we may be able to lower your price per head. Although, please try and give us accurate numbers as we need to book number specific providers such as coach hire & accommodation.

We are not currently able to offer independent travel insurance. There are many different travel insurance policies available, and you are required to make your own arrangements. We do ask that you check the cover carefully to ensure that it meets your needs and provide us with details of your insurer and policy.

All of our preferred operator’s coaches (Wight Coaches) come with belted seats, toilets, microphones & media systems and air conditioning as standard. We can arrange for you to view the coach depending on their availability.

We understand that circumstances change and sometimes you may need to cancel your booking with us. Although, in an ideal world we’d like to offer you a 100% refund regardless of cancellation notice, it would be financially unsustainable to do so due to the commitments we would have made with booking items such as coach hire and attraction tickets etc. Therefore, please find below the cancellation charges should you need to cancel your booking with us.
