The Frederick Soddy Awards |
The Frederick Soddy Trust wishes to encourage pupils' interest in field study by providing financial support. Schools often find it difficult to compete successfully for funds from the main grant making bodies or to allocate their own financial resources to field studies. The Trust hopes to encourage field studies by providing support specifically for such work.
This year two schools have won a Frederick Soddy Award:
Jubilee Primary School in London
Verdin High School in Winsford, Cheshire
|
|
 |
|
| Linda Salveson, Jubilee School |
|
|
|
The aim of the Awards is to reward innovation in secondary school geography departments, who thereby encourage students to continue to study geography.
The winner of this year’s Award is:
Rosemary Musker High School in Thetford, Norfolk

The Challenge event is the culmination of Worldwise activities for secondary schools. In April 2005 nine invited teams, all of whose schools had taken part in the other elements of Worldwise (Online Quiz, Local Quiz, etc) during 2004-05, spent a free-of-charge weekend at Malham Tarn Field Centre. The teams, of three pupils from each school, all took part in a broad range of enjoyable and competitive fieldwork activities. At the end of the weekend the winners of the 2005 Worldwise Challenge Trophy were judged to be:
Yash Gupta, Andrew Gillings and Joshua Hewlings from Queen Elizabeth Grammar School in Wakefield.
