🌍 Year 10 Geography students recently visited Liverpool to collect data for their human fieldwork enquiry, exploring how regeneration and redevelopment have transformed different parts of the city.

Students visited three key locations: Liverpool city centre, Liverpool ONE and the Albert Dock. Throughout the day, they gathered a range of primary data, including environmental quality assessments, shop surveys, pedestrian counts and questionnaires with members of the public.

The fieldwork provided valuable first-hand insight into the impact of Liverpool's redevelopment and helped students develop the practical skills needed for their GCSE studies. They will now use their findings to support their geographical investigations back in the classroom.

As well as working hard on their research, students also enjoyed the opportunity to explore Liverpool ONE and indulge in a well-earned ice cream! 🍦

🌍 Year 12 Geography students recently visited Chester city centre to collect primary data for their Non-Examined Assessment (NEA), investigating urban change and the impact of Chester Market Hall on the health of the high street.

Using a range of fieldwork techniques, students gathered both qualitative and quantitative data, including questionnaires on shopping habits, mood mapping to explore perceptions of different areas, Environmental Quality Surveys (EQS), clone town surveys and retail audits.

The visit provided a valuable opportunity to apply classroom learning in a real-world setting while developing key geographical research and analytical skills. The data collected will now support students' NEA projects as they evaluate Chester's success as a thriving retail destination.

🌡️ As part of their Weather and Climate unit, our Year 7 Geography students have been investigating microclimates around the school site.

Using a range of geographical equipment, students collected and analysed data from different locations, discovering that some areas were slightly less hot than others during the recent warm weather! ☀️

This hands-on fieldwork helped bring classroom learning to life, allowing students to develop their practical skills while exploring how and why weather conditions can vary across a relatively small area.

Next lesson, students will be investigating the causes of the current heatwave and examining the wider factors that influence our climate.
