What costs does the programme cover?

The Specialist Schools and Academies Trust endeavours to organise and pay for the following arrangements for all participants to the TIPD school-determined study visit programme:

  • Travel from a UK departure airport to the destination – Please note that direct flights to your destination are not always possible, and it is likely you will have to catch a connecting flight
  • Travel insurance for the duration of the visit
  • Accommodation on the basis of local recommendations – This will be in comfortable mid-range hotels or guest houses 
  • Provision of airport transfers at visit destinations – Airport transfer costs will be covered by the SSAT where the budget allows. However, it is envisaged that the host school, or visiting UK school, will make their own arrangements for daily transportation to and from the school. 

Important note: if the unit cost is exceeded, the SSAT may not be able to fund full accommodation cost and airport transfers. We would discuss this with you at the time.
