Year 13 Biology Field Trip

At the start of the school year, our Year 13 Biology students spent 5 days on a field trip in Pembrokeshire to explore the rich biodiversity of coastal and salt marsh environments. Students engaged in a variety of ecological sampling techniques, gaining hands-on experience in data collection and analysis.

From quadrat sampling to transect studies, the group investigated how species abundance is influenced by environmental factors such as temperature, salinity, tidal patterns, and substrate type. The trip offered a fantastic opportunity to observe a wide range of organisms in their natural habitats, deepening students’ understanding of ecological relationships and adaptation.

A highlight of the trip was crabbing where many of the students were able to learn how to handle the crabs safely and enjoyed seeing how many they could catch.

Throughout the trip, our students demonstrated exemplary behaviour, curiosity, and teamwork. They were a credit to the school, impressing staff and field guides alike with their enthusiasm and maturity.

We’re proud of their efforts and look forward to seeing how this experience enriches their studies in the months ahead!
