Last week we took 27 A-Level Geography students on a field trip to Osmington Bay in Dorset.
The students were able to see, in person, some of the coastal landforms they have been studying in their lessons, including Lulworth Cove, Durdle Door and the sand dunes at Studland Bay. On the second day, students collected data to demonstrate how the sand dunes changed as they moved further inland. This was really successful and provided them with practical experience of data collection. Students also completed workshops in the evening to consolidate coastal theory and complete geographical skills with the data they had collected. On the final day they enjoyed exploring Lyme Regis and the coastal management in place to protect the town and had the opportunity to evaluate how effective it was.
The students conducted themselves with great maturity and everyone enjoyed the opportunity to concentrate on their studies. Finally, despite the long journey back, it was a very successful trip!

“You will be writing persuasively and be the change you
want to see!
This means writing about something you are passionate
about that could motivate the audience to make a change.
You could be asking for change in your school, in your
local community or worldwide. The trick is to write about something you have strong feelings towards as this will show in
your writing.”
