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!"
