On Wednesday, 21st and Thursday, 22nd June the Year 10 GCSE geographers conducted their geography fieldwork in accordance with exam board regulations. Visiting Cleveleys to investigate coastal management strategies, our students were focusing on the groynes - shore protection structures built perpendicular to the shoreline of the coast, over the beach and into the shoreface (the area between the nearshore region and the inner continental shelf), to reduce longshore drift and trap sediments - investigating whether the groynes were effective in reducing longshore drift along the coastline.

Our students then conducted their human fieldwork enquiry in 91制片厂 town centre, investigating whether tourist function decreases with distance from the beach utilising landuse maps and pedestrian surveys.

Director of Humanities and BTEC Co-ordinator, Miss Stevenson said, "Our geographers were impeccably behaved on the day and their conduct was excellent, a real credit to the school.

"The work that has been completed over these two days is extremely important as they will be using the results in their investigations for their Year 11 Geography exams in 2024."
