Trip Manager

Trip Manager brings consent, trip updates, photos, messages and staff registers together for school trips. Parents can follow the day in one place, while staff can keep working when the signal does not.

What does Trip Manager help schools manage?

From consent before departure to registers and updates during the day, Trip Manager gives parents and trip staff a calm, shared view of the school trip. It is built for British schools and keeps the important details together without relying on email threads or personal phone numbers.

Trip Manager features

The trip at a glance

Parents can see where the trip has got to, the expected return time, the latest update and anything that still needs attention from the home screen.

Clear digital consent

Consent questions are presented one at a time in plain English. Answers save as the parent works and are only treated as submitted after the school's system confirms them.

Updates, photos and messages

Trip teams can keep parents informed as the day unfolds, share trip photos and receive messages without giving out a member of staff's personal phone number.

Registers without a signal

Staff can take a register offline. Marks are held on the device, sent when a connection returns and clearly labelled as sent or still waiting.

Information for trip staff

Assigned staff can access pupils, itineraries, staff lists and the medical, dietary and emergency information needed for the trip, including an on-screen privacy cover for sensitive details.

Designed for accessibility

Status always uses words and symbols rather than colour alone. The app supports Dynamic Type, VoiceOver and Reduce Motion, with parent screens checked at the largest accessibility text sizes.
