Payments for the education & university sectors, made easy

Revolutionise School Trips

With the mounting cost-of-living crisis, school children are now at risk of missing out on essential education due to a lack of resources and funds. For teachers, it’s devastating to think that students are not getting everything they need from school due to something completely outside your control.

Caxton understand how to 'deliver more with less' and make your budgets go further. Switching to an automated expense management solution will be instrumental in helping your school trips run smoothly, efficiently, and at the lowest possible cost. We can also:

• Support teachers to easily and quickly process overseas trip costs
• Offer the finance department real-time tracking over company spending
• Integrate with your accounting system to simplify bookkeeping

Control spending on school outings

School trips are a formative time in a young person's life and education. Safely travelling away from home, whether it's to the next county or country, comes with a lot of work. Permission slips, fees to pay, back to pack, kit lists sent to parents, behaviour outlines explained, chaperones to organise and accommodation to source. The last thing teachers have to worry about is how much cash they need to withdraw and carry on them.

Let's pause right there. We wouldn’t use cash on a family or personal trip, so why are schools still expecting teachers to carry cash? Moving to an automated prepaid expense card system takes the stress out of cash for teachers and they can focus on the learning outcomes for students, instead of the security and responsibility of carrying a large amount of cash on them.
