Blue Stamp Travel
About the agency
Blue Stamp Travel is a family run business, run by former teachers and school principals with extensive knowledge of school trips and of what it takes to make it a success. We care about the students who travel with us and recognise the value of school trips and the life-changing experiences they can bring, when delivered in the right way. We also understand the importance of working with parents/carers and students directly when necessary.
Our team is made up of talented linguists who always have the students’ interests at the heart of their work. Their personal relationships with employers and language school partners is what makes Blue Stamp Experience special, both in the office for the team and for the students who travel with us.
Formed in 2018, Blue Stamp Travel operated within the renowned school tour operator, Halsbury Travel. By developing an already well-established relationship and working alongside the experienced team, we inherited and developed the diverse range of work placements and language school partnerships.
In 2020, Blue Stamp became independent from Halsbury and experienced a resurgence during 2019 in interest in travelling abroad to study languages. We look forward to continuing to offer school trips and language experiences for students.
Our relationship with Halsbury remains strong and we enjoy working with one of the UK’s leading educational travel providers.
Our values:
– Personalised service.
From before you book until you’ve returned home, and beyond, we offer a personalised service. This includes 24/7 contact throughout your trip to provide assistance if you need it.
– Education
Coming from an educational background, we know the importance of language trips. Our trips are designed to deliver good educational outcomes. As well as developing language skills, we aim to promote independence, confidence, workplace specific skills, communication and other key skills that are so necessary in the future workplace.
– Removing the burden of travel arrangements for schools and teachers
We know that teaching is a job that requires all of your time, not including the additional burden of organising travel. We provide trips for schools with minimal administration for teachers: we take care of everything through our online portal and keep teachers informed at all times.
For schools that cannot offer their own trips, we offer the opportunity for students to travel independently of their schools on our mixed group school trips.
– Equality
We welcome students from all backgrounds to travel with Blue Stamp. We pride ourselves on providing a friendly and accessible service for all students. Equality is more than just an Equality Policy document in Blue Stamp Travel.
– Safety and Welfare
Our first priority when planning any trip is the safety and well-being of our students and staff. This in turn leads to great experiences. This starts with ensuring that our Safety Management System reflects the latest best practice and is implemented by all our staff.
– Added value
Travelling abroad may not always be cheap, but thanks to our hard work, we know we can provide you with an experience that will be worth the investment. Whether it’s a work placement, a language course or a stay with a host family, we know it will be an enjoyable and unforgettable experience that will benefit your language skills in the future.
