Fieldwork toolkit

Climber

We’ve created a package of resources to equip you with the tools you need to plan exciting fieldwork, expand your students’ minds, and inspire their love of geography.

The resources are designed to give you a clear understanding of the requirements of the AS and A-level specifications, along with detailed guidance on:

  • linking fieldwork to areas of the specification content
  • the enquiry process
  • the assessment of fieldwork and how you can best prepare your students.

More resources will be added below as they are developed.

Requirements

  • All students must complete fieldwork relating to processes in both physical and human geography.
  • Students must complete a minimum of two days of fieldwork during their AS course, and a minimum of four days of fieldwork during their A-level course.
  • Fieldwork must take place outside the classroom and school grounds on at least two occasions.

Schools and colleges will be required to confirm that all AS and A-level Geography students have been given an opportunity to fulfill these requirements. You must submit the fieldwork statement by 15 May in the year of entry.
