Suitable for KS5 A Level students undertaking their Independent Investigation, this programme is designed to best facilitate the student success with the NEA. Students will work alongside Skern staff to organise visit logistics and research aims at one or more stunning fieldwork locations.
Qualified Skern Lodge tutors will accompany students on their self-led fieldwork visits, and evening skill workshops are designed to guide a student’s successful completion of their Independent Investigation NEA.
Each day is balanced to provide a rounded experience with an suitable mix of classroom workshops and practical visits to fieldwork locations, along with important opportunities for social and relaxation time for both visiting staff and students.
