School trip and excursion risk assessment template
One activity, assessed and signed, before Friday.
School Risk Assessment Template, free for independent schools.
One risk assessment for one school activity, laid out the way an approver reads it: what the activity is, the hazards and who is exposed to them, the controls you are relying on, the rating that is left once those controls are in place, and the chain of names that assessed, reviewed and approved it. The sign-off chain is the artefact: it makes "signed and provable" true for one activity.
Three files in one zip: Risk-Assessment-Template.xlsx, the working document with a worked example beside your own; How-to-use-the-Risk-Assessment-Template.pdf, four pages that take a leadership team through it in one sitting; and What-next-EthosOne-Assurance.pdf, four pages on what the same work looks like when it runs live in EthosOne.
One activity, assessed and signed, before Friday.
Free Risk Assessment Template for independent schools: Risk-Assessment-Template.xlsx with a worked example, a four-page How-to and the What-next brochure for EthosOne Assurance. One activity, assessed and signed, before Friday.
Your details stay in Australia. We email you the files, then occasional governance updates you can stop at any time.

Get the free pack01Is the Risk Assessment Template free?
Yes. Tell us who you are and the link is emailed to you. No trial, no card, and the file is yours whether or not you ever talk to us.
02What format is it?
Risk-Assessment-Template.xlsx opens in Excel, Numbers or Google Sheets and the two PDFs open anywhere. The worked example tab or appendix is finished and protected; your own is blank and editable.
03Do we need EthosOne to use it?
No. The pack works on its own, and the How-to is written for a school that runs it in a spreadsheet or a document. The What-next brochure and the six notes in the file say where the work strains and what the platform does at that point.
04Who is the worked example?
One invented Australian independent school, the same one across all eleven packs, with a consistent principal, business manager, chair and set of risks. Nothing in it is a real school.
05What happens after I download?
The thank-you page names the three files and the first thing worth doing today, and offers the Board-Ready Governance Review as the next step. One email, no sequence you did not ask for.
