G30 Fieldwork – Whitburn and Marsden

All G30 year 7 students will be carrying out fieldwork at the location of the former Whitburn Colliery and Marsden Village near to Souter Lighthouse in South Tyneside.

G30 Class 2 will be going on Tuesday 3rd October

G30 Class 1 will be going on Wednesday 4th October

Students will need:

  • to wear clothes that will keep them warm and dry – lots of layers.Β 
  • wellies or old trainers are needed for footwear as part of the fieldwork will involve studying the rocks in Marsden Bay which is a sandy beach.
  • a packed lunch.
  • their school bag with regular school kit list inside including iPad. Most bags are not waterproof so we suggest putting kit inside a plastic bag inside the rucksack.

A packed lunch will be provided for students that are entitled to free school meals and request one.

Students need to be in school at the normal time of 8.25am on each day.

We expect to return to school in time for the normal end of day at 3.15pm but will update our website should there be any delays due to traffic.
