Fieldwork investigations will prepare students for designing their independent geographical investigation. Students will have the opportunity to collect data (individually or in groups) and then work on their own to contextualise, analyse and report their work to produce and independent investigation with an individual title that demonstrates required fieldwork knowledge, skills and understanding.
This is a 4 day non-residential course running on Tuesday 4th, Wednesday 5th the first week and Thursday 13th November and Friday 14th November 2025 the week after.
Small Group or Individual Student Days are designed to bring together individual students, home educated students, schools with small cohorts, or students who were unable to attend a residential or alternative trip. By bringing groups together you do not have to pay for a minimum number of students.
These courses are for groups of 9 or fewer students from any one school.

Other adult learners eg mature students or those who have recently turned 18 are welcome to join the course.
