Year 11 Geography Fieldwork Trip to Birmingham

Our Year 11 Geography students recently travelled to Birmingham to carry out essential fieldwork in preparation for their upcoming GCSE Geography PPE Paper 3 examination. Despite the very wet weather, students worked brilliantly to collect a range of data, including environmental quality surveys, pedestrian counts and soundscape recordings.

The fieldwork focused on exploring inequality across Birmingham, with students visiting a variety of locations to investigate differences in environmental quality and develop their geographical enquiry skills. GCSE Geography students are required to complete two days of fieldwork, and experiences like this provide valuable opportunities to put their classroom learning into practice.

We were incredibly proud of the students, whose behaviour, attitude and commitment to completing the tasks were excellent throughout the day, despite the challenging weather conditions. Well done to all our Year 11 geographers!
