Student tour operator Flooglebinder is kicking off the week with some exciting news: they have been awarded the Council for Learning Outside the Classroom (LOtC) Quality Badge!
The LOtC Quality Badge is a prestigious quality assurance scheme for educational visit providers. For teachers, this means they can be confident that Flooglebinder has adhered to a comprehensive framework that supports educational needs, offers high-quality learning experiences, and ensures effective risk management.
In fact, the Department for Education’s guidance on Health & Safety for Educational Visits recommends that schools seek providers with the LOtC Quality Badge when planning study trips and overseas expeditions.
Flooglebinder designs student adventures with a focus on conservation, sustainability, personal development, and mental health. They are the first company in their sector to achieve B Corp certification, demonstrating their commitment to high social and environmental standards. Each project is thoughtfully designed with purpose and impact, ensuring that all trips are built around ethical experiences.
The company helps schools make a positive contribution to the environments they visit, fostering authentic, close engagements that lead to increased pro-environmental behavior and significant benefits for students’ mental health. Flooglebinder’s destinations include some of the most biodiverse ecosystems on the planet, and their broad portfolio of expeditions offers plenty of options for different age groups and educational topics.
Aligned with the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (UN SDGs), Flooglebinder’s trips give students of all ages a deeper understanding of environmental sustainability and social impact. By emphasising experiential learning, Flooglebinder provides a far richer experience, all of which is supported by the AQA Unit Award Scheme.
