Geography Trip to Isle of Wight

'It is impossible to imagine a prettier spot,' said Queen Victoria of the Isle of Wight, and I sincerely hope that the 28 pupils from the Third Year, who visited over October half term, agree.

Pupils were able to take in the impressive scenery created by powerful coastal processes; The Needles, Allum Bay, Shanklin Chine and Ventnor Cliffs. Despite the clear skies (and rainbows) we had to hold onto Tennyson Down for dear life as we braved the wind all in the name of Geography.

Similar levels of inner strength were shown by all (staff included) on the chairlift down to the coloured sands for which the West part of the Island is famed.

We crammed a lot into three days; red squirrel spotting, ambush competitions, tobogganing, quizzes, and falconry – all of which has strengthened our appreciation of this diverse and unique area.

The pupils thoroughly enjoyed the experience, as well as the novelty of sleeping in cabins – a good time was had by all.
