Thirty students from grades 7 to 10 will head to the United States, and their itinerary will include sports games against the U.S. teams in basketball and football.
Students also have the opportunity to watch professional sports matches.
In addition to sports, the group will enjoy a visit to Busch Gardens and Aquatica Water Park, shopping, and an evening at Disney Springs with a meal at Hard Rock Cafe.
Dominic Stannard, head of character and culture at Marshland, said:
“This gives our students an incredible opportunity and experience that they will talk about for years to come.
“Students will benefit from social opportunities to grow in confidence, make new friends, learn new skills and independence, but most importantly, enjoy every moment.
“Florida is a once-in-a-lifetime trip for our students. Playing and watching sports in America will be something they will never forget.”

The young players' new strips will be made available to J&S Jetting and Drainage Services, which sponsors the football team's kit, and Burwell Transport, respectively, and Key, who sponsors the new 'Marshland Herons' basketball kit. provided through the support of the Center.
Mr Stannard said: “We are extremely grateful for the kind and generous sponsorship from three companies who have given over £1,200 to enable us to purchase two new football kits and one basketball kit.”
The new kits are a significant upgrade, replacing older kits without the school's name or logo and basketball kits that were too large for younger students.
“I can't wait to see the students representing Florida schools in their brand new uniforms,” Stannard said.
Student Macy Mapplesden said: “I'm really looking forward to going out with my friends. It's going to be a lot of fun.
“I want to get better at sports and gain more confidence.”
The trip will run from April 3rd to 10th.
