Sorting school trip groups with helpers in seconds

Trip groups have rules a normal group split does not: each group needs a named adult, parent helpers usually want their own child with them, and pupils with medical needs should be spread across adults rather than landing with one. The Trip Mixer handles all of that.

How it was built

It builds on the same balancing approach as the Class Mixer, with trip-specific rules layered on top. You add your adult helpers, optionally link a helper to their own child so they end up together, and flag any pupils with medical needs. The mixer then forms groups that are balanced and spreads the medical flags across helpers so no single adult carries them all.

How to use it well

• Add every adult helper first, then link the parent-helpers to their children.
• Flag medical needs so they spread automatically across groups.
• Re-run to get a different valid grouping if the first one does not suit.
• Print the groups as a ready-made adult-to-pupil list for the risk assessment and the day itself.
