What we found (2)

The Mirror reports a survey commissioned by PGL Beyond, a commercial trip provider, and says so. Its headline goes further than the body: it turns 22% of pupils never having been on an overnight trip into one in five children missing out on 'vital' skills because trips are out of reach. The opening line also states a survey opinion as a measured fact.

  1. Headline goes beyond the article

    Minor

    “leaving 1 in 5 kids missing out on 'vital' skills”

    Why this matters
    The words "leaving 1 in 5 kids missing out on 'vital' skills" tie the 22% figure to trips being out of reach. They also claim those children have lost skills.
    The impression it gives
    One in five children cannot afford or reach school trips, and that has cost them vital skills.
    The context
    The body says only that 22% have never been on an overnight trip with school. It gives no reason for that figure. The barriers it reports include anxiety and missing home as well as cost. The word "vital" comes from the trip provider's chief executive, not from any finding of the study.

    “Eight in 10 youngsters learn more outside the classroom”

    Why this matters
    The Mirror writes "Eight in 10 youngsters learn more outside the classroom" in its own voice, as a measured outcome.
    The impression it gives
    Research has shown that 80% of children actually learn more outside the classroom.
    The context
    The figure comes from a OnePoll survey of pupils' and parents' views, commissioned by a company that sells school trips. It records what people said, not what children learned.
