Students investigated the long-term impacts of the London 2012 Olympic regeneration by engaging directly with the local environment and community. They carried out environmental quality surveys across the area and confidently interviewed local residents to find out how regeneration has affected their lives, livelihoods, and sense of place. These real-world methods are a key part of understanding how urban change can bring both opportunities and challenges.

We were also proud to see our Year 13 geographers supporting the day as part of their Sixth Form enrichment programme. They acted as fieldwork mentors, helping to guide data collection, support younger students, and model excellent geographical practice.

The trip was an excellent example of collaboration across year groups and a fantastic opportunity for our students to develop their confidence, communication skills, and geographical enquiry techniques outside the classroom. Well done to all involved!
