• for school trips

Whether you organise day or residential trips, our school trip management software can help you run these outings more smoothly. You can let parents pay in instalments and partial payments until a deadline so that they can spread the cost of the trip, as well as communicate with parents about the event, such as giving important information and reminders.

Software highlights

Flexible payment types


Magicbooking gives you the flexibility to choose what payment types you accept for each trip and whether it’s a full upfront payment or a payment plan.

Payment plans provide the ability to spread the cost of a trip over a number of months leading up to the trip. It can be set-up to automatically charge the parent’s card on their chosen day each month.

Parent communication

The communication module allows you to send emails and SMS messages to all parents, or just a selected group of parents, such as those booked on for particular days or trips.

You can also schedule your communication for a specific time or date, providing you with the flexibility to broadcast your messages at the right time for you.

System generated communication, such as payment reminders, booking confirmations and reminders are automatically sent.

"Previously, the admin involved in managing our enrichment activities and trips was very time-consuming. As well as linking with our pupil database, Magicbooking enables activity leaders to review the status of their bookings and it's taken the strain off the admin team because hardly any cash now has to be collected, recorded and banked."

Emma Taylor, ​Finance Manager, ​Beecroft Academy
