Organising whole-class fieldwork can be difficult due to tight timetables and limited budgets. Individual or small-group investigations offer a brilliant alternative.

Discover practical ideas from Paula Richardson and our FOLSIG team to inspire independent enquiries, from evaluating high street clone towns to mapping views from a window.

Have you ever stood in your school playground and thought about what lies directly beyond the school gates? What's beyond? Behind that building? Tree? Hill?

Some of the best geography lessons happen in wellies, not at a desk.

Read our latest blog post by Joe Follows at Great Ballard School, sharing how active local fieldwork brings classroom theory to life for pupils.

From exploring rural land use to investigating coastal processes, discover how putting outdoor learning at the heart of your curriculum creates experiences that truly stick.

Inspired by the National Festival of Fieldwork, this piece is a fantastic reminder that geography is a subject meant to be lived and walked through.

You don't need a large budget or an overnight trip to provide high-quality geographical enquiry.

As you plan for your National Festival of Fieldwork activity this June, it is the perfect time to showcase how school grounds and local streets can become powerful learning spaces.

Use these accessible ideas from @DTWEGeography to reduce departmental costs and advocate for the necessity of subject-specific outdoor education with your senior leadership team.
