Preparatory Geography

Geography

Geography fulfils an important role in the school curriculum. Theoretical knowledge is explored in the classroom and experienced through various practical exercises. These take place either in the local school environment, along the river Tillingbourne or as far afield as Twr-y-Felin in Wales.

World issues and topics covering a broader field are brought to life through interactive studies using a wide range of media, from ICT research, local news and video articles and current events publications, such as National Geographic.

Lessons follow the structure of the ISEB curriculum, preparing pupils for both Common Entrance and Scholarship examinations.

The aim of the department is to provide a holistic approach to Geography where the pupils are able to learn, develop and practise geographic skills that they can apply to a wide range of topics as they study and appreciate their ever-changing environment.
