BG6 go coastal

As part of the preparation for their A Level exams, our Year 13 Geography students visited Flamborough Head and Hornsea on the Yorkshire coast. The Holderness coastline is particularly significant as it is the fastest eroding stretch of land in Europe, with some areas seeing several metres of destruction every year.

The young people were able to observe the many erosional features that make the area famous; including the stunning 'dinosaur rock', which has existed for millennia. There was even an event on the beach when, to our surprise hundreds of seal pups were visible, enjoying the late Spring sunshine. The group then headed a few miles south to the tourist town of Hornsea, where the importance of and challenges associated with coastal defence became all too apparent. There was also time for an ice cream (or two) on the town's famous beach!

Mental Health Champs

We also had representatives from Year 12 who took part in the training session with OneGoal to become Mental Health Champions for BG6.

Year 12 Fine Art Roadshow

Year 12 Fine Art work has been showcased in an exhibit at Healey Junior, Infant and Nursery School. Year 6 children have enjoyed studying the work and asking questions of the BG6 artists.
