Geography is concerned with the world around us: what shapes it, what sustains it and what influence we have upon it. The subject is therefore highly relevant to some of the most topical issues of the day, from earthquakes and climate change to the exploitation of natural resources and population growth. Geography is about what is happening to us, now.
Work in the classroom is supported by numerous field trips enabling the boys to witness and experience, first-hand, the significance of Geography in the real world. Among the issues covered are urban deprivation, global inequalities in levels of development, pollution, desertification and resource depletion. There is no better context within which to study our world and gain an understanding of the larger forces that influence our lives.
