Geography School Trips

Why arrange a school geography tour?

Experience geography in action

A geography field trip can give your students the opportunity to experience some of the most beautiful and fascinating geography destinations in the world, as well as giving you fresh inspiration to use in the classroom.

The opportunity to experience geography in action will give your students something real to draw upon in exams, helping them to achieve those higher grades.

Your geography school trip will really bring the subject to life for your young students too, and this could encourage them to take their geography studies to the next level, whether that’s GCSE, A Level or even university.

Plus, you’ll be inspiring the next generation to care about the planet and the environment. Your students will be able to see the impact of climate change and human activity on the landscapes that you’re exploring.

They’ll gain a deeper understanding of the fragility of ecosystems and problems caused when land use changes. And, in some destinations, they’ll be able to learn more about sustainability and some of the initiatives working to combat climate change.

Help them understand complex geographical concepts

Geography school trips can really help students to grasp the more complex concepts that they study in class.

Geography, after all, is the study of the physical features of the Earth and of how human activity affects and is affected by these. So, you really can’t beat getting out of the classroom and seeing those physical features first-hand in terms of helping students to develop their understanding.

For example, for students studying geology and plate tectonics, a trip to Ponta Delgada in the Azores will be simply unforgettable, as they will see for themselves how the country is being affected by its location at the meeting point of three major tectonic plates.

And a geography trip to the Swiss Alps will allow your students to explore a glacier first-hand, find out how it is shaping the landscape and discover how it’s being affected by climate change. They’ll also learn more about river processes and see some of the world’s most famous pyramidal peaks, including the Matterhorn!

We can even arrange geography field trips to China, Japan, and Morocco. The choice is yours and there’s something to suit all budgets and timescales.
