Today, Yr 11 Geographers completed their human field study at Bristol Harbourside. Despite very cold conditions, the students worked hard collecting evidence to investigate whether the regeneration of the area had been successful.
A huge thank you to @YHAOfficial for their generous bursary. It allowed our students to experience a residential trip that they won't forget, exploring the gorgeous landscape around Lulworth Cove.
Also thanks to @SMVBristol for their contribution towards the Academy's endowment fund. Your support helps ensure that our students get the opportunity to take part in these experiences.
A huge thanks to @LulworthCoveYHA for making our stay so enjoyable. We cannot wait to book again for next year. A fab base for exploration, friendly staff, clean facilities and great food. #YHA @YHAOfficial #geography
MAS Yr 11 Geography students have spent two days at the coast exploring erosion and landforms in and around Lulworth Cove & Durdle Door. The behaviour of the students was superb and the students embodied our school value of working hard. #geography #lulworthcove #durdledoor
