Year 10 pupil receives recognition from the Royal Geographical Society

Year 10 pupil Faraz received ‘Highly Commended’ recognition for his entry into the 2020 Royal Geographical Society Young Geographer of the Year competition. He was one of three who received this acknowledgement in the Key Stage 4 category.

The competition theme was set during the summer and invited students learning from home to explore the World Beyond My Window. Faraz chose to focus his work on his local area, extending the ideas he explored as part of some Changing Places fieldwork in 2018. He completed two short enquiries, collecting primary data on environmental quality and the ‘clone town’ characteristics of the high street.

Congratulations, Faraz!
