We are committed to ensuring high quality fieldwork experiences for all
through:
 Careful
and imaginative planning;
through
preparation, including:
- exploratory pre-visit
- briefing of all participants
- use of appropriate, sufficient and well-maintained equipment;
responsible conduct of the
fieldwork;
productive
follow-up of the experience;
thorough
post-fieldwork review...
... to create a purposeful, enjoyable experience through which
learning becomes fun.
We recognise that safety is the responsibility of everyone, and
that we must act responsibly towards:
ourselves;
people in
our care;
people
caring for us;
equipment
and its use;
parents
and guardians;
institutions and organisations with whom we deal...
... to ensure a safe and enjoyable fieldwork experience.
We recognise that we are all agents of change. As well as
developing a respect for environments, we will take responsibility for our
actions and their impact on:
those we
influence;
the
immediate environment;
those who
live or work in the area;
those who
own land/resources in the area;
the wider
world;
those who
have worked here before us;
those who
come after us.
... to ensure that we maintain, and enhance if we can, the
diversity of environments for future generations.
In short ... we accept the role of being 'in loco parentis'
with all its implications for our pupils' education, safety and future
well-being in the best quality environment we can attain.
