Slapton Residential Trip

We are delighted to already have been to Slapton with our A Level Geographers, where they had a successful week collecting data for their NEAs.  To celebrate the end of the week a campfire was hosted on the beach, whilst stargazing.  Let’s hope they made some wishes on the shooting stars they saw.
