Advanced Higher Geography - Small Groups

Do you want to give your students the benefit of residential geography fieldwork but you haven’t the number of students to make it viable to organise your own residential or send a member of staff?

FSC Kindrogan is pleased to offer the opportunity for your students to join other Scottish schools in the autumn term on a 3 day Advanced Higher course that will cover the fieldwork techniques which are essential for their geographical methods and techniques module. Not only will your students be able to join others on a stimulating course but at £113 it is a very cost effective way of delivering a key part of their curriculum.

'Offering a trip like that where I could drop them off and go back to school is very much appreciated by me and by senior management since it reduces the costs and the need to cover my classes! I hope you will continue to offer it in future years, and I will certainly be bringing students back again.'
