Geography

Geography is an essential component in preparing young people for life in the twenty-first century. It is concerned with the interaction between people and places over time and space. Indeed, as the pace of change quickens, communications become faster, and challenges to the environment multiply, a knowledge and understanding of geography is more vital than ever. 

The main aim, therefore, of the Geography department at Papplewick is to help the boys to develop an informed concern for the world around us, and an ability and willingness to take positive action, both locally and globally by recognising some of the more important geographical patterns and relationships which are revealed in different types of landscape, and in different human activities. 

Keeping up to date with current affairs is strongly encouraged, and exploring and undertaking fieldwork outside the classroom is essential. School trips are not just enjoyable but memorable and essential in understanding the world around us; the world of the present, the past and the future.
