Year 10 Geography Field Trip to Walton-on-the-Naze

Updated: Jun 16, 2025

Our Year 10 Geography students recently visited Walton-on-the-Naze to complete the physical fieldwork component of their GCSE course. This trip is a key part of their studies and directly supports one of their exam topics.

During the visit, students investigated the impacts of coastal management on coastal processes and local communities. Through hands-on data collection and analysis, they explored how different defences influence erosion, transportation, and deposition along the coastline.

This trip forms one half of their required fieldwork—covering the physical geography element. Later this year, they’ll also complete a human geography fieldwork, with both components examined in their final GCSE assessments next June.

Well done to all students for their focus and hard work in the field!
