On Thursday, 47 year 11’s visited Sandown Bay as part of their GCSE Geography course. Students were required to consider the coastal management strategies employed between Sandown pier and the far end of Yaverland beach.
Students investigated the impact that coastal management strategies are having on the natural processes in the area as well as the impact on the local population and economic activities.
Although the weather started off extremely wet and gloomy, by lunchtime all the students and staff were enjoying the sunshine and surprisingly warm weather. Students were able to successfully collect data for a variety of investigative methods including beach profiles, land use and environmental quality surveys.
All students were incredibly well behaved, hard working and are a real credit to themselves and the school. Well done Year 11!
