Dorset trip brings geography theory to life
Published: 23 February, 2011
Lower sixth AS and IB geography students got to put their theory
into practice recently on a fieldwork trip to Dorset.
First up was an opportunity to carry out a transect of the sand
dunes behind Studland Bay followed by an investigation of the
coastal defences around Chesil Beach. The students also had
the chance to visit many classic sites on the Jurassic Coast,
including Durdle Door, Lulworth Cove and Old Harry Rocks.
"It was a great experience for the students", said Head of
Geography, Anya Starling. "Thankfully the weather was pretty
good so we were able to make the most of being outdoors, even
though that meant the classroom sessions ran quite late at the end
of each day!"
