Fieldwork at Bricknell
Geography trips play a crucial role in enhancing students’ understanding of the subject and fostering a deeper connection with the world around them. Fieldwork provides students with the opportunity to collect, present and analyse data, and find how to reach and evaluate conclusions based on data. These skills are highly valued not only in geography but in a wide range of subjects.
Moreover, these trips offer a chance to explore the rich geographical diversity of the UK, encouraging a sense of place and a deeper appreciation of the environment. They also contribute to students’ personal and social development, fostering teamwork, resilience, and a sense of responsibility for the environment. Fieldwork also ensures that pupils who continue to study geography are better prepared for geographical investigation, as they will have experienced a wide range of fieldwork techniques in different settings throughout their journey through Bricknell.
Bricknell has demonstrated a strong commitment to incorporating fieldwork into the curriculum. To achieve this, Bricknell has integrated fieldwork into the curriculum, aligning with specific learning objectives and topics for each year group. This ensures that all pupils have the opportunity to engage in fieldwork experiences that are age-appropriate and relevant to their learning journey.
