Fieldwork is an essential feature of geography because it provides a ‘real-world’ prospect for students to progress, extend their geographical thinking, and add value to classroom experiences. All GCSE students are now required to participate in two field trips. The exam specification asks that students collect a range of primary and secondary data. As a result, we have organised a field trip for each class in year 9 and 10 to conduct an urban transect study of human and physical fieldwork.

Generally, learning outside of the classroom helps adolescents to develop a real understanding of what place and environment by opening their young people’s minds to what is around them.
