As part of the Geographical Associations drive to improve the teaching of Geography throughout the country, they have, through Paul Baker, set up a series of local cluster groups.  These groups comprise geography teachers from senior, primary and prep schools from bothe the state and the independant sectors.  They meet at least once a year to share good practice.  This was the inaugral meeting of the Brambletye Cluster Group and the course was led by Gyles Morris who is passionate about the 'outside classroom' and runs a field centre in South Wales called Naturesbase.  The course was well attended and the teachers left Brambletye inspired ....
