Geographers Travel to Felixstowe for Fieldwork

As part of their geography A level, Year 12 students must complete an Independent Investigation, which is worth 20% of their final grade. With this in mind, students travelled to Felixstowe in order to experience and try as many different fieldwork techniques as possible.

During their time in Felixstowe, students had the opportunity to carry out measurements in order to determine how beach profiles are affected by the shape of groynes.

Later in the day they carried out various different tasks in the town, in order to ascertain the extent to which Felixstowe is ‘rebranding’.
