4-12 NEWS Highlights from the UK education sector 13 VIEWS
Dear Reader,
Happy New Year to you all, and welcome to the first Education Today of 2020. With twin education trade shows Bett and The Education Show making their annual appearance this month, we offer a selection of exhibitors to whet your appetites for the shows; while in our feature focus this issue, we look at the importance of school trips. In our first feature, we showcase some
of the exhibitors making the news at Bett and The Education Show. From parental engagement software to school access lanyards, there are a wealth of education- related solutions and services on display and we’re delighted to bring you a selection of suppliers who, we hope, will make your school life a little easier. We’ll be at the show, on stand number EDC15, so please pop by and see us if you are in town for the event. In the first of our two features on school
trips this month, we hear from Charlotte Bleakley, English and Media Teacher, who explains how a school trip to the Museum of London became a fun-filled adventure thanks to the Breadcrumbs Game company; while in our second, Jade Rowlatt of Rayburn Tours discusses the educational benefits of getting children out of the classroom, and offers some pointers on getting the best value for money in what can be an expensive undertaking for schools. Elsewhere, we have all the usual news
and views, as well as our SEND spotlight and contributions from our regular writers including Kirsty Bertenshaw and Alicia Blanco-Bayo. Remember, we love to hear from you,
you can get in touch with us via Twitter @EdTodayMag, Facebook and our homepage, as well as by phone or email. Enjoy the issue and we’ll hope to see
you at Bett! Jonathan Swift - Managing Editor
