Our Year 12 and 13 Geography and Biology students swapped the classroom for the coast this week as they carried out fieldwork for their A Level studies.
Students gathered data for their Geography coursework and completed investigations for ...the compulsory practical element of the Biology A Level. Although it was a breezy day, we were incredibly lucky with the weather. The rain stayed away, the sun shone from start to finish, and the dunes provided the perfect outdoor classroom.
A fantastic day of learning, teamwork and sunshine. ☀️🌿🌊
