This excursion, an essential part of their GCSE Geography coursework, focused on urban regeneration and transport improvements. Students efficiently collected data at various city locations to support their fieldwork analysis, which will play a key role in their Paper 3 examination.

Trip leader, Mrs. Shiels, Head of Geography, said:

The students behaved impeccably and collected their data efficiently. It was a great opportunity for them to engage with the city and see first-hand how regeneration projects have transformed Birmingham.

A particular highlight of the trip was the visit to Birmingham Library’s secret garden, offering a serene space amid the bustling city for students to relax and reflect.

Overall, the trip was a valuable educational experience, combining practical fieldwork with an opportunity to explore one of Birmingham’s hidden gems. We look forward to seeing the students apply their findings in their coursework!
