“They studied the fantastic outcrops of chalk and glacial sediments at Hope Gap, and hunted for fossils, finding fossil sea urchins and oysters in the chalk!
“The students were truly inspired by Helena Griffiths and throughout a long day were inquisitive and fascinated by what they discovered.”
Deputy principal Steve Martell said: “Huge thanks to Ian, Helena and our amazing students for taking part in this wonderful educational experience. They are all real rock stars!”
