The aim was to see if the regeneration of the Olympic Park had left a positive legacy 13 years on from the Olympic games. Students conducted their data collection exceptionally well through completing pedestrian counts, environmental quality surveys, field sketches and questionnaires to the public.

Thank you to the staff that supported the trip, Miss Coupland, Mr Evans, Ms Walsh, Ms Powlesland and Ms McCallum. Special mentions to Holly M-R, Cara and Hannah for their confidence in their conduction of the questionnaires. 

Emyphil, one of our Year 11 geographers, said: "We investigated whether the regeneration project left a positive legacy. To do this, we carried out four primary data collection methods: questionnaires, pedestrian counts, annotated field sketches and environmental quality surveys. We found that people were still using the park, locals viewed the area as safe, and it is a peaceful area full of green space. However, some people mentioned it was expensive. Therefore, when I come to writing my conclusion, I will likely conclude that overall, it has left a positive legacy. Overall, the day was great, and we worked well in our groups to complete the fieldwork ready for our Paper 3 Geography exam."
