GCSE GEOGRAPHY TRIP TO BOURNEMOUTH…
On Tuesday 10th and Wednesday 11th June, 183 Year 10 geography students travelled to Bournemouth to complete their fieldwork which goes towards their Geography GCSE. They investigated the effectiveness of coastal management on the seafront and assessed the transport issues and management in the town. It was wonderful to see students making sense of classroom theory in the real world and having a wonderful time with their peers. All students worked incredibly hard, behaved impeccably well and were a real credit to the school, some even managed an ice-cream too! Thank you to all staff and students involved in such a great day! Miss Slater
