Carding Mill Valley Trip

All Year 11 Geographers recently undertook at trip to Carding Mill Valley in Shropshire to investigate how a river changes as we move down stream. The visit is a compulsory part of their GCSE course work and the data was graphed and analysed upon their return and used to test their enquiry question. As well as a great opportunity to get out of the class room and do some ‘proper geography’, the trip also allowed students to work as teams, allowed some to adopt leadership roles and for all to develop their independence. All combined, the skills developed during the day should help all participants prepare for their exams and for their future roles in higher education, work and life.
