A Level Geography Fieldwork - Small Student Groups

Do you want to give your students the benefit of residential geography fieldwork but you haven’t the number of students to make it viable to organise your own residential or send a member of staff?

FSC Rhyd-y-creuau and FSC Epping Forest are pleased to offer the opportunity for your students to join other schools on a geography fieldwork course.

Residential Courses

This autumn term FSC Rhyd-ycreuau in Snowdonia has a three day A Level geography course that will cover the fieldwork and geography skills which are essential for their AS and A2 examinations. Not only will your students be able to join others on a stimulating course but at £145 it is a very cost effective way of delivering a key part of their curriculum.

Non-Residential Courses

FSC Epping Forest offer Individual student days for small groups of AS or A Level students or individuals who have missed fieldwork trips or require further practical knowledge.

 

Individual Student Days

Each Individual Student day can be used to build knowledge about the subject and help students to prepare for their individual investigation or fieldwork skills paper. The courses focus on planning an investigation, sampling techniques and collection of primary and secondary data. In addition presentation and evaluation techniques and limitations will also be considered.

Courses run from approximately 9.30am to 4.30pm and will include classroom and field based sessions. The cost per day is £26 per student.
