Key Stage 4 Geography trip to the Land of Fire and Ice

We are delighted to offer students a very exciting opportunity.  In February 2012, the Geography department will be embarking on our first overseas field trip to Iceland. The trip is open to Geography students in Key Stage 4 (current year 9 and 10 students).

Iceland is known as the ‘Land of Fire and Ice.´  An astonishing country with spectacular glaciers, volcanic mountains, wild gorges, stunning waterfalls, Europe´s largest wet desert, impressive geysers and a raft of other geothermal features all wrapped up in a centuries-old Norse culture.

The benefits of residential field trips are becoming increasingly recognised as an important part of learning and development.  The trip will help reinforce classroom learning and bring the text book alive, which in turn will translate into students being inspired in both their controlled assessment and exams.
 
The four day and three night trip will be organised by euro-study-tours, our chosen UK tour operator who specialise in student trips and tailor-made holidays to Iceland and beyond.  If you would like more information on Iceland or about our tour provider please visit the following website www.euro-study-tours.co.uk.  Here you will also find further information on the trip and the excursions we will be undertaking.
