Overcoming barriers: geography in a hospital school setting

Thursday April 9, 2026 11:00 - 11:30 BST

T216

This session will explore how geography can be adapted to meet the needs of young people receiving education in a hospital setting, using Manchester Hospital School as a case study. Drawing on real experiences, it will show how geography can offer continuity, connection and empowerment to learners facing medical challenges. The session will demonstrate how geographical thinking and enquiry can be a powerful tool for re-engagement, wellbeing and identity-building - even from a hospital bed. Attendees will leave with practical strategies for ensuring accessible, flexible and inclusive geography teaching designed to meet pupils where they are, both physically and emotionally.
