Fieldwork is an important aspect of geography and helps develop an array of useful life skills. Fieldwork can be challenging, informative, sometimes messy but often a lot of fun. It allows students to explore issues and questions in a real-world context and to question their own findings. It nurtures analytical and critical thinking and helps to build resilience.
Take a look at our fieldwork videos and explore our free resources to help develop the skills you will need.

The Special Educational Needs Assessments Standards Committee (SASC) in 2019 defined Dyscalculia as: “A specific and persistent difficulty in understanding numbers which can lead to a diverse range of difficulties with mathematics. It will be unexpected in relation to age, level of education and experience and occurs across all ages and abilities.”
We asked Pearson colleagues and teachers to discuss their most influential diverse role models. Whether close to home, or looming large in history, the answers they gave were a continued celebration of diversity and shared experiences, revealing the importance and impact of actions, words, and connection.
