Year 11 geographers explore coastal management

On a recent field trip to Lyme Regis, West Dorset, Year 11 geographers from Hanham Woods Academy embarked on an exciting investigation into coastal management and the effects of longshore drift, applying classroom knowledge to real-world environments.

During their exploration of the iconic Jurassic Coast, the students had the unexpected thrill of discovering a large, unusual fossil partially buried in the sand. The find added a thrilling element to the day, sparking curiosity among the young geographers.

After their morning of fieldwork and fossil hunting, the students enjoyed a well-deserved break, where they tucked into a generous portion of chips.

A spokesperson said: “Well done to the Year 11 cohort for their hard work and enthusiasm – it was a fantastic and memorable day for all involved!”
