Geography
The Geography department is currently housed in two specialist classrooms, equipped with a wide range of resources, including teacher computer stations and ceiling-mounted projectors. Access to the school’s computer suites is also actively encouraged through the departmental schemes of work. Fieldwork is carried out at all levels, including Year 7 orienteering collaboration with PE, Year 8 urban studies with History and Year 9 ecosystems work with Biology. The students following AS Geography spend a day a London at the docklands and olympic site, whilst the A2 group take part in a week-long residential trip to North Wales at the start of Year 13.
The department also lead expeditions through the World Challenge organisation, with Peru, Canada, India and Tanzania amongst the destinations before 2008. In 2008, 47 students in 4 teams took part in the latest expedition to Chile. We have just launched our 2010 trip to Nepal which is open to students from years 10-12.
