y12 geography trip

Yesterday, our Year 12 geographers engaged in a day's study of landscape systems in the stunning environs of Cwm Idwal, North Wales.

In the module Landscape Systems - Glaciated landscapes: Physical Systems, our students are introduced to the integrated study of earth surface processes, landforms and resultant landscapes within the conceptual framework of a systems approach, and the exploration conducted on field trips is crucial to developing an understanding of these processes.

Case studies are key to the course, and enrich our students' knowledge and understanding of these processes.

The topic must include case studies of at least one landscape from the UK, and of at least two from beyond the UK; and Year 12 have already had the opportunity to explore the physical systems of Iceland, as we were delighted to share earlier this year.

A fantastic day for all against a stunning backdrop, with huge thanks to Team Geography for delivering this opportunity for our students, and to Mr Neale for the photography.
