A level geographers explore the Jurassic coast

The A level geography students spent 3 days exploring the human and physical geography of the Jurassic coast. A destination which is much discussed in lessons and did not disappoint. Students carried out many different field techniques, learning skills ready to complete their own independent research investigations. They explored urban areas in Bournemouth looking at place identity and regeneration, and they focused on sustainability in Poundbury. They looked at coastal processes and the influence of geology at Durdle Door and Lulworth Cove, and they measured the impact of coastal management in Swanage Bay. The weather was glorious and allowed students to see the coast at its best. The students were a pleasure to work with and received many compliments on their work ethic, polite attitude and friendliness.
