Year 12 Geography Field Trip to Stratford
Our Year 12 Geography students recently visited Stratford as part of their A Level Geography studies, investigating the area's transformation and regeneration.
The day began with students carrying out a range of surveys in contrasting residential areas of Stratford. Despite spending the entire morning battling persistent rain and getting absolutely drenched, students remained enthusiastic, engaged and committed to collecting high-quality fieldwork data. Their positive attitude and resilience in challenging conditions were particularly impressive.
After a well-earned lunch break at Westfield Stratford City, where students had the opportunity to enjoy some food and do a little shopping, the group continued their investigations in the afternoon. We explored the Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park, examining how the area has been regenerated following the 2012 Olympic Games and considering the social, economic and environmental impacts of redevelopment.
The visit also included a trip to the V&A East Museum, where students explored a range of fascinating exhibitions and artwork, further enhancing their understanding of Stratford's cultural development.
Throughout the day, our students were impeccably behaved and were a real credit to the school. Their maturity, engagement and enthusiasm made the trip a great success.
This is just one of several exciting fieldwork opportunities available to A Level Geography students, with the group heading to Margate in the coming weeks for further investigations. If this sounds like something you would enjoy, A Level Geography could be the subject for you!
