Last Tuesday our first group of Year 10 geographers braved the Cumbrian drizzle to collect fieldwork data at Gatesgarthdale Beck. Their goal? To test the Bradshaw Model, investigating how a river changes as it flows downstream.![]()
![]()
Students measured width, depth, gradient, velocity and sediment size to see if the river really does get wider, deeper, steeper and faster, with smoother, rounder sediment as it travels downstream.![]()
![]()
Despite the weather, the group showed fantastic focus and teamwork. Great job, Year 10! They’ll now bring their data back to the classroom to analyse, present and draw conclusions.![]()

Our future Year 7s enjoyed a fun-filled day of activities designed to help them get to know the school, meet their classmates and connect with their new teachers. We know that moving up to secondary school is a big step and we’re here to make sure every single student feels confident, supported and settled from day one.![]()
