Year 8 Field Trip

Year 8 pupils (right side of timetable) enjoyed a visit to Stratford-upon-Avon to undertake some primary data collection for their geographical enquiry on tourism.

Fieldwork is an essential aspect of geography that will facilitate students to enrich their locational knowledge and environmental understanding. It is an important component of geography at both KS3 and GCSE level.

The visit allowed pupils to collect data to investigate various impacts of tourism in the town. Pupils gained experience of five different fieldwork methods including pedestrian counts, land use surveys and environmental quality assessments.

The results were of excellent quality and are proving very interesting to present and analyse back in the classroom. The pupils worked extremely hard during the visit and were a credit to the School. Well done 8SP, 8JG, 8JA and 8MM.
