Flooglebinder

School Trips & Co-curricular

Awesome student adventures focused on conservation, sustainability, personal development and mental health. Our trips are designed FOR teachers, BY teachers! Whether you choose our UK adventure camps or an overseas study trip focused on geography, biology, ecology or wildlife management, sustainability will be at its core.

Our mission is to redefine the way students travel to ensure they travel with purpose and a positive impact. Not just on their school trip, but beyond, helping students develop lasting pro-environmental behaviours. From the plains of South Africa to the jungles of Costa Rica, our educational adventures span the globe and include some of the most biodiverse ecosystems on the planet. Our broad portfolio of educational expeditions means there is plenty of choice for different age groups and varying educational topics. We align our study tours with UN Sustainable Development Goals, giving students of all ages a deeper understanding of environmental sustainability and social impact.

We have been officially awarded the ‘Learning Outside the Classroom’ quality badge – a nationally recognised benchmark representing high-quality educational experiences and effective risk management.

I would highly recommend Flooglebinder to fellow members.

We have used Flooglebinder for the last few years for residential trips to a variety of locations. Their trips are engaging, but academically rigorous, and dovetail very closely with our school ethos. The staff and guides have been responsive to our needs and helped tailor the trips to suit our pupils and purposes. The residential trips are inspiring and leave a long-lasting impact on our students.

Girls on Board

Girls on Board

Pastoral & wellbeing

Girls on Board is an approach which helps girls, their parents and their teachers to understand the complexities and dynamics of girl friendships. The approach empowers girls to solve their own friendship problems and recognises that they are usually the only ones who can. Girls on Board sessions are non-judgmental and reflective, designed to raise empathy amongst the girls and it is that empathy that fuels the search for harmony and resolution. By empowering girls to find their own solutions, parents need worry less, schools can focus more on the curriculum and the girls learn more effectively – because they are happier.

Since using Girls on Board we have found our pupils are able to manage their own friendships much better. It gives them the skills but also empowers them to take ownership of their friendships without adult intervention. We are very pleased to be using it at St Catherine’s.

When looking for a replacement for the A Level Food Technology, we contacted Leiths and they were incredibly helpful in going through the different options, the costs etc and then helped with training in order to deliver the Level 3 course as an A Level equivalent.

What schools are saying

I have worked with Clare, at Synergia, for some years now. She has provided coaching for various members of my team, supervision for my DSL as well as supported various teams in the School with resilience and team building opportunities. She is exceptionally professional and knowledgeable and has been a source of huge support for me and for my school. I have particularly valued her coaching, personally, as Head and have benefited hugely from her wisdom! Her academic approach has also been valuable; she is so knowledgeable and her ability to recommend books to read and articles to support my leadership style, have been a real support of my own professional journey. I recommend her and her company to you wholeheartedly.

— Manchester High School for Girls

Over many years at both my schools I have used Synergia in various ways. They are really responsive and want to understand your particular setting and how they can bring value. Our staff are our biggest resource and having them come alongside both at recruitment stage and on further occasion to provide coaching support for middle managers has been very useful.
