Geography in Action
Get Out!
...with Dyke House School’s Geography Department. After all, how can Geography be studied entirely in the classroom? At Dyke House School, the great outdoors is in many ways our laboratory, a place for pupils to study real life issues in real life locations and to test out hypotheses in the real world.
Recent visits have taken Y7s to Robin Hood’s Bay and Year 8s to Goathland in North Yorkshire. Most recently, Y11s have had a study visit to Grasmere in the Lake District to study the impact of tourism for their GCSE coursework and Y9s have just returned from Upper Teesdale where their visit focused on a study of river processes including those at England’s largest waterfall, High Force. What about Y10s you may ask…? Well, their turn will come later in the year when we go to Flamborough in East Yorkshire to study coastal processes and landforms. Such visits always prove successful, often despite the weather which sometimes plays nasty tricks on us and in one case in Upper Teesdale despite a rather large cow who had clearly decided that we were standing in her field and she wasn’t going to let us pass without making a protest!
Watch this web site for further details of our £16 million refurbishment programme due to start in the next two years. Consultations with pupils, staff and the community have already taken place.
