In September a group of Y11 Geographers went on a residential field trip to West Lulworth and Swanage, part of the UNESCO World Heritage Jurassic Coast. The students designed surveys and collected data for their Controlled Assessment about the impact of tourism on West Lulworth. They also studied the coastal landforms and processes which attract the tourists to the area. This included a walk to Durdle Door along the Dorset Coastal Path.
They enjoyed an overnight stay at the Swanage Youth Hostel, relaxing with an evening of ten pin bowling.
