		<description><![CDATA[Educational visits, often remembered and cherished for years afterwards, are an essential aspect of school life. Our students across all age groups enjoy the benefits of a wide variety of such visits.

We&rsquo;re proud of the variety of visits we offer our students. They may be linked to a subject curriculum, revolve around sport or simply be in recognition of students&rsquo; efforts during their Guilsborough Academy journey. Either way, enjoying learning experiences outside the classroom environment has an enormously positive impact on a student&rsquo;s school experience.

We also recognise the value of international visits. They can be enjoyable, often bonding experiences. They are also key to fostering our students&rsquo; understanding of different people and cultures. Not only can this make them more well-rounded as human beings, but also enables them to develop as truly global citizens.

&nbsp;What our students and staff say about our trips&nbsp;

Our students have fantastic experiences on our education visits and some of their thoughts and experiences are shared below;









&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;The field trip was very successful as it allowed us to have a better insight into urban life and how to properly conduct surveys to gather information.

A great day carrying out A-level Physical fieldwork on water and carbon cycles with @geofieldworkLtd. Who knew soil could be so exciting!?

&nbsp;The expedition to Ecuador was a fantastic experience for all students. They had experiences and gained skills which will be with them for a lifetime. It was wonderful to watch the students grow in confidence over the 3 weeks. They showed resilience on a challenging trek and showed incredible determination to make a difference to the local community in Ecuador by completing a project at a local school. A highlight of the expedition was seeing the humpback whales and turtles in their natural environment when we visited one of the&nbsp;small&nbsp;Galapagos islands.

Our Leadership Expedition to Cambodia took our students out of their comfort zones and challenged them to develop both their independence and teamworking skills. A challenging overnight jungle experience certainly helped develop their resilience and is now looked back on fondly as a wonderful adventure. As well as exploring the culture of a new place and enjoying lots of sightseeing, students particularly enjoyed their conservation project, working with a small community to reforest mangroves.&nbsp;
