Focus on Fieldwork
- Demystify fieldwork by walking through the key guidance, resources and requirements you need to feel confident.
- Generate practical ideas that fit your school’s context; whether you’re working with the school grounds, the local area, or beyond.
- Experience fieldwork for yourself through practical activities you can easily adapt for your own pupils.
Fieldwork is one of the most enjoyable and rewarding aspects of teaching geography. It gets children outside, sparks curiosity, builds real-world understanding, and is a key expectation of the Geography Programme of Study. OFSTED also recognises the importance of well-planned fieldwork; but for many teachers, especially those without a geography background, it can feel daunting to know where to start.
This hands-on CPD day is designed to change that.
You’ll leave with a bank of ready-to-use ideas, the confidence to plan and deliver meaningful geography fieldwork, the motivation to make this exciting part of the curriculum a regular feature of your teaching and hopefully a desire to share your learning with your colleagues.
