| David Beresford and Tim Pearce, Coleridge Community School, Cambridge, with Jen Hurst and Laura Lowther, in partnership with Jacqueline Billing, Parkside Community School, Cambridge | The proposed housing development on the site of Marshall's Airfield is put in a national and regional context.

| Andy Berry and Rob Richmond, Sawston Village College, Cambridge | Through fieldwork and a written report, the students were supported in thinking geographically about new housing developments. They were encouraged to consider the kinds of environments that they would realistically like to live and work in. | How does this scheme develop understanding? |
| Amanda Alderton, St Bede’s Inter-Church Comprehensive School, Cambridge, and Katharine Hutchinson, Chesterton Community College, Cambridge | Year 7 students (this unit was developed as a transition piece of work) were supported in identifying how some of the main features of their local area are connected to other places, and challenged to develop an understanding as to some of the reasons why people have different perceptions of places. | How does this scheme develop understanding? |
| Bridget Oeppen and Jane Verity, Hills Road Sixth Form, Cambridge | Managing urban environments usefully emphasises issues connected with the future of large urban areas and the limited environmental resources available. | How does this scheme develop understanding? |
