Our AS Level Geography students have visited Norfolk to carry out vital fieldwork for their exams.
The Year 12 students visited Sea Palling, Happisburgh, Bacton, Heringham, Cromer and Salthouse in one day to study shoreline management plans and evaluate the different strategies that are used in different parts of the same stretch of coastline.
Director of Geography Maxine Hopewell said: “The students conducted bi-polar evaluations of the coastal management strategies, gave out questionnaires in Cromer and surveyed the beach at Salthouse.
"They also carried out a cost benefit analysis to work out the value of the land that is being protected by coastal defences to see that is sustainable.
"The students enjoyed the experience and it consolidated what they have learned in class."
