Cottesloe visit

Year 12 Geography AS students and staff from The Cottesloe School, Buckinghamshire, stayed at BCS whilst undertaking coastal fieldwork studies at Lulworth Cove, Durdle Door, Hengistbury Head  and  Studland Bay on the weekend of Friday 23rd - Sunday 25th April. 

On  Saturday, the group learnt about the geology and erosion along this well known stretch of the Jurassic Coastline.  They also considered the impact of Tourism on this ‘honey pot’ site.  Sunday saw the group head off to Studland where they carried out beach transects and studied the succession of vegetation. Due to the position of BCS so near to the sea, it serves as an ideal base for other inland schools looking to organise residential fieldwork trips to the coast. The students also made use of the classroom facilities and were very impressed with the newly opened Sixth Form common room on the first floor! These eleven  AS students had a very successful and productive visit and commented that BCS students are very lucky to have the coast literally on their doorstep and all that this offers.
