Our 2026 Frederick Soddy Schools Award received a record number of applications. The award recognises the importance of fieldwork in geography education and supports primary and secondary school teachers with grants of up to £600 to facilitate fieldwork for school pupils.
The calibre of the 2026 applications was extremely high, and the panel chose to award grants to 12 schools. Some of the supported proposals will introduce children to fieldwork in their local areas, while others will travel further afield, with fieldwork planned around the UK and in Spain and Iceland. Topics range from urban regeneration to coastal protection, and from sustainable energy to tectonic processes.
The award will run again in 2027 - please keep an eye on our website for the next submission deadline.
