GCSE Geography Fieldwork Key Stage 3

Cliffs Farm has been used by secondary schools for Key Stage 3 geography fieldwork since 1995. A farm visit gives pupils the opportunity to gather information directly for a case study. The focus is on finding out how land use is influenced by human and physical factors. Diversification and renewable energy are also themes that can be studied. Visits are organised in partnership with teachers so that they meet the needs of the curriculum.
