London with your class

Pupils spend their mornings in accredited English schools alongside students from across Europe, sorted by level so every lesson is useful. Afternoons are a cultural programme — Westminster, the British Museum, Greenwich, Brighton — built to make language practice feel like adventure rather than homework.

On the move selects partner schools holding English UK or IALC accreditation. Every school is inspected, every teacher is qualified. At the end of the stay each pupil receives a CEFR-referenced progress certificate that schools can use for official records.

Language Trips - your questions

A school language trip is organised for your whole group — the entire class or year group travels together, shares accommodation and follows a programme built around your school's curriculum. An individual language stay is a personal booking for one student. On the move specialises in group programmes and handles all logistics, supervision and paperwork for schools.

All levels from complete beginners (A1) to advanced (C1). Pupils are sorted by level on arrival so every lesson is appropriately challenging. Each pupil receives a CEFR-referenced progress certificate at the end of the stay.

Our English schools in London and Dublin hold English UK or IALC accreditation. Malta partner schools are FELTOM-accredited. Barcelona schools are Instituto Cervantes-affiliated. Paris schools are certified by the French Ministry of Education. All schools are regularly inspected and all teachers are qualified.

Yes — and we encourage it. The most effective language trips blend morning classes with afternoon cultural experiences where pupils use the language naturally. We design the programme around your educational objectives and group.
