Y10 Geographers put on their bobble hats (well Mr Wallace did) to brave the cold last week to conduct their GCSE fieldwork investigating the success of urban regeneration in Salford Quays @RipleyGeography

It was very hard to select a winner for this year's Antarctica flag competition. House Points have been awarded to all pupils who entered. Well done for taking part! 🧊❄️🌨️⛄️🇦🇶

Congratulations to everyone who entered our Antarctica flag competition this year. We were blown away with the number of entries. Congratulations to Daisy B and Evelyn H in 7Turley! Your flags are on their way to Antarctica as we speak! 🇦🇶❄️🌨️🐧

Friday 18th October is the last day to enter our Antarctica flag competition. We've had some amazing entries so far! Please hand your flag design into a Geography teacher. Our winning flag will be sent to Antarctica over half term. Have a look at last year's flags below! ❄️🌨️🇦🇶☃️

A couple of weeks ago, our Y13 Geographers enjoyed a glorious visit 🌞 to Ribblehead in the Yorkshire Dales and to Heysham coastal defences. They covered topics from A level Physical Geography in water and carbon cycle along with coastal defences. @RipleyGeography

Year 8 Geographers enjoyed field work around Bowness. The objective was to explore the impact of human activity & tourism in a post-glacial landscape. They recorded footfall and registered noise pollution and enjoyed a trip on the ferry to view glacial landforms! @RipleyGeography

Today we are supporting #WearItGreenDay for #MentalHealthAwarenessWeek2024. Staff & pupils have been encouraged to wear green accessories to show their support. Y9 pupils participated in a mental health themed assembly with words of support from young fundraiser Oli O'Connell.

Alicja K (Y8) won our Antarctica flag competition and her flag travelled on the RRS Sir David Attenborough to Lemaire Channel along the West Antarctic Peninsular with Theresa Gossman, from the British Antarctic Survey. Amazing! 🇦🇶🌏❄️👏 @ripleystthomas @UKPolarNetwork
