Walton-on-the-Naze - GCSE Geography field trip

Last Friday, Year 10 students carried out their physical geography fieldwork at Walton-on-the-Naze on the Essex coast, collecting data to support their GCSE Paper 1 exam studies. During the trip, students completed a range of fieldwork activities, including measuring groyne profiles to calculate the amount of sediment being trapped by longshore drift, and creating beach profiles using equipment such as clinometers to measure the gradient of the beach. They also completed field sketches and environmental quality surveys as part of their investigations.

Students worked carefully throughout the day and engaged well with the fieldwork tasks. In terms of behaviour and conduct, the group were a credit to the school.
