Our Year 9 students will soon be heading to Salford Quays as part of their Geography studies. This exciting field trip will give students the opportunity to develop important fieldwork and data collection skills, a key part of the Geography National Curriculum.

During the visit, students will investigate urban environments and practise gathering and analysing real-world data. These are valuable transferable skills that support learning across many subjects. For students continuing with GCSE Geography, the experience will also help prepare them for the Paper 3 fieldwork skills exam.

Even for those not continuing Geography, the investigative skills developed during the trip are useful for scientific enquiry, technology projects and other research-based learning.

We look forward to a fantastic and engaging day of learning beyond the classroom for all of our Year 9 students!
