Paper permission slips mean chasing forms, trying to read handwriting, and digging through folders when you need a parent’s phone number. This School Trip Consent Form Template lets parents and guardians give consent online for day trips and residential visits across the whole school year, so everything’s in one place before the bus leaves.
It works just as well as a field trip permission slip, and it’s easy to adapt for sports clubs, scout troops, youth groups, and camps.
Using the School Trip Consent Form Template
The form is split into clear sections, so parents can fill it out quickly, even on their phones:
- Child’s Information: Collects the child’s name and class so you can sort consent forms by group.
- Medical Information: Parents share any medical conditions, medication their child needs to carry, known allergies, and whether they carry an Epi-Pen or similar device. That way, staff know what to expect before the trip.
- Dietary Requirements: Parents can choose from common needs like vegan, vegetarian, gluten-free, and dairy-free, or describe something else.
- Parent or Guardian Information: Collects the parent’s name, phone number, and email so you can reach them while you’re away.
- Emergency Contact: If the parent isn’t the emergency contact, conditional logic shows extra fields for a separate emergency contact’s name, phone number, and email.
- Consent: Parents agree to their child taking part in off-site trips and activities, and to receiving first aid or urgent medical treatment if needed.
- Signature: Parents sign the form digitally to confirm their consent.
The consent section lets parents know they can withdraw consent for individual trips by emailing the school office. Just update the link with your school’s email address. You can also edit the class list to match your school, add fields like photo consent, and set up email notifications so the trip lead sees new submissions right away.
