Geography

"In the Geography Department it is our aim to stimulate pupils' interest in the subject and to deepen their knowledge and appreciation of the Earth's landscapes, peoples and environments.

Rather than merely imparting facts and figures in isolation, contemporary Geography focuses on the interaction between humankind and the physical environment. At Norwich School we strive to reflect this approach in our courses and our teaching methods.

Pupils study a wide range of current events and issues including the exploitation and management of fragile environments, hazards related to plate tectonics, river landscapes, the global fashion industry, tourism and development issues. We seek to stimulate pupils' interest and curiosity by encouraging them to think for themselves and to recognise that many of the issues we study are not as clear-cut as is often supposed. 

Our programme also provides many opportunities for pupils to develop important skills such as an appreciation and understanding of maps, the use of ICT, teamwork and presentation techniques."
