Students will investigate ‘what’s in a place?’ investigating through qualitative and quantitative data collection the profiles of two contrasting places and how this has shaped each places identity.

There will be an opportunity for students to investigate ‘how do we understand place?’ and the complexities that exist when trying to define place.

Small Group or Individual Student Days are designed to bring together individual students, home schooled students, schools with small class sizes, or students that were unable to attend a residential or alternative trip. By bringing groups together we aim to keep the overall costs lower, and you do not incur our minimum daily fee.

These courses are for groups of 9 or less students from any one school. If a students is not accompanied by a responsible adult, their parent/carer must have a completed and returned an Unaccompanied Young People form to us, available in our Customer Information

The course price is exempt from VAT.

To book onto the course, please add in the students by clicking on ‘Child’, and add in the accompanying adult (teacher/parent/carer) by clicking on Adult.

Example Timetable

This course runs from 9.30am – 4pm, but times can be adjusted to suit your group and travel plans.

During your visit you will be welcome to the centre and given an appropriate health and safety briefing.

Your session will start with an introduction to the day, aims and objectives. Throughout the day we will undertake fieldwork, collecting data appropriate to the topic. We will break for lunch, before continuing with our fieldwork. Depending on the day and the specific times of your visit we may include some data presentation and analysis and we will end the day with a summary including drawing conclusions and limitations.

Please note that specific activities for your group are subject to change. We go out in all weathers and seasons and will tailor the content of the day accordingly.
