Geography
Trips
We firmly believe that Geography cannot only be studied in the classroom and that students must experience places and environments first-hand. We therefore run fieldtrips in almost every year:
Year 7 travel to the north Norfolk Coast to investigate coastal erosion and deposition
Year 8 visit Cambridge to establish whether the city really is a “clone town” and whether this matters
Year 9 travel to London Docklands to explore the benefits of and problems created by urban regeneration
Year 10 undertake two days of local fieldwork to deepen their geographical skills in preparation for controlled assessment in Year 11
In addition to the fieldtrips that are directly linked to the curriculum we also run a biennial fieldtrip in August to Iceland which is open to pupils in Years 9, 10 and 11, as well as the Lower Sixth. Iceland is a fascinating country for all Geographers and the trip gives pupils the opportunity to get up close to volcanoes, hot springs and major fault lines.
