Fieldwork at Great Ballard: Geography That Gets Mud on Its Boots
May 1, 2026
Some of the best geography lessons don’t happen at a desk. They happen in wellies, on windy beaches, or halfway up a hill with a notebook in hand and a slightly squashed packed lunch. That’s where theory stops being theory and starts making sense.
Imagine if every lesson started with curiosity… “What’s your question?” – it’s a simple prompt that sparks great science. This theme for British Science Week perfectly captures how our science teachers aim to inspire your child at Great Ballard.
Our Senior Deputy, Alice Hardwick, shares her experiences of moving from the state to independent sector and why she is excited about the Great Ballard curriculum.
