The quote might have been erroneously credited to Audrey Hepburn down the years, but the sentiment is spot on. Paris is ALWAYS a good idea.

And this autumn, your school can soak up the very best of the French capital with Smile’s exciting package incorporating culture, hockey and the magic of Disney.

Join us for a four-night trip, including fixtures against local teams at the same St Germain venue which will host Team GB's hockey squads at this summer's Olympics.

What's more, we'll throw in a day pass to the incredible Disneyland Paris, and a tour of one of Europe’s most stunning cities.

Group rates start at £795pp, and an adult can travel free of charge with every eight paying students.

Get in touch for more information and to book. But be fast, before someone else steals your (very good) idea.

Were you sat in the cold, wet, and dark UK, watching England men play at the Kensington Oval and wondered how the winter can already seem so long?

Why spend a winter just watching cricket when your team could be the ones playing at the Oval? And maybe with more success....

Harry Brook has won the Bob Willis Trophy sponsored by Smile Group Travel.

The trophy is awarded to England’s player of the year (male or female) as voted by members of The Cricket Writers’ Club.

Brook has enjoyed an impressive start to his international career. As well as becoming the fastest man, in terms of balls received, to score 1,000 Test runs, he was a member of the England squad which lifted the men’s T20 World Cup in Australia at the end of 2022. He also smashed a 41-ball century in the Hundred to win a place in the ODI World Cup squad.

“It has been the most enjoyable time of my life,” Brook said as he reflected on the award. “The way we’ve gone out there and tried to play our cricket has been really fun.

“To have won a World Cup, to have played in an Ashes series and to have experienced some of the things I have this year is a dream come true.”

The award is named in honour of former England captain and Sky pundit, Bob Willis who succumbed to prostate cancer in 2019. The Bob Willis Fund was established to raise awareness of the illness and support research that could lead to better screening for the cancer.

✈️ After touring with Smile Group Travel in February, the King's College Taunton U18s cricket team took home the national T20 cup.

💬 "Touring with Smile earlier in the year was a massive part of our preparation. Playing in early February against some of the top South Africa schools allowed us to gel even more as a team, work out our strengths and weaknesses and with some winter training still to complete once we returned, we were able to rectify this.

We have toured with Smile Group Travel for a few years now and have found their professional approach superb. We put a lot of planning into our tours to ensure our pupils not only get a fantastic experience but also get the top sporting preparation and challenge we want for, from our tours. Everything we try to do is to as high quality as possible for our pupils and Smile certainly help us to make that happen."
