UKSA has announced it is a finalist in the 2023 School Travel Awards which recognise inspiring people and the best companies, venues and attractions which provide school trips.
Voted for by readers of School Travel Organiser, which helps teachers and educational visit coordinators plan and create school trips and learning outside the classroom, the Isle of Wight-based charity has been shortlisted in the Best Sporting Venue category.
UKSA, which provides life-enhancing water-based adventures, education and world-leading maritime training for careers at sea, has been recognised in the category which celebrates venues which get children active and engage them in sport.
Ben Willows, CEO at UKSA, has said:
“We’re delighted to see UKSA recognised by those who have visited us in the School Travel Awards. Being voted by those who have had first-hand experience of what we have on offer here is incredibly meaningful. At UKSA, we inspire young people to broaden their horizons through our life-enhancing water-based adventures, education and training.
“Our water-based programmes for some, is the first chance they have had to get out on the water and the first time they have been away from home. It’s proven that getting outdoors results in better learning outcomes across the board including getting children more active and I hope we see many more visitors seeing what we have to offer.”
The School Travel Awards 2023 will be taking place on 6th June at the 5-star Royal Lancaster Hotel in London and hosted by Olympic medallist and broadcaster Katharine Merry.
How about what does UKSA stand for?
How about spending the time it took you to comment to instead use Google and look it up? United Kingdom Sailing Academy, to save you the effort.
Ok for them,but have devalued many homes along Arctic Road – blocking Light and taken up parking of residents. Constant noise from kid’s and music at night , Coaches stop in road to drop/pickup kids with no passing points for traffic.. Excellent idea but not in right place .
