Geography Fieldwork Trips 2023

Year 7 pupils carried out geography fieldwork along the River Wyre in Garstang. This involved drawing a sketch of the river in its middle course and analysing why the width and depth couldn’t be measured at this point. Pupils also learned about the flood defence at Garstang, an example of hard engineering. Pupils then walked on the Millennium Path observing the changes along the River Wyre. The rain stayed away too!

Year 9 pupils carried out geography fieldwork in the centre of Liverpool. This involved carrying out an environmental survey at The Albert Dock and Liverpool One. This was carried out to support the theory that regeneration had a positive impact on urban environments. 

75 Year 10 pupils visited Grasmere in the Lake District to carry out their fieldwork investigation as part of their GCSE geography course. They visited Easedale Tarn and investigated how the River Rothay channel changed shape in the upper, middle and lower course. All pupils demonstrated great determination to reach our destination, despite the poor weather conditions.

41 year 11 pupils visited Liverpool to study the regeneration of the city centre. We went to the Albert Dock, Chavasse Park – an area of urban greening and Liverpool One.
