Isaac, Year 12 Student A great day carrying out A-level Physical fieldwork on water and carbon cycles with @geofieldworkLtd. Who knew soil could be so exciting!?    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 small Galapagos islands. Miss J Furnell World Challenge Expedition 2019, Ecuador     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.  Miss P Hunt World Challenge Expedition 2023, Cambodia Photo albums of our visits Please click on the albums below to have a look at the fantastic experiences and memories our students have had from some of our most recent visits: World Challenge - Tanzania 2025 From the peaks of Kilimanjaro to the heart of local communities, our journey through Tanzania was nothing short of extraordinary.
