Geographers at Nonsuch know where they're going!

In the classroom

Earthquakes and Volcanoes, Raging Rivers, Wild Weather, Collapsing Cliffs and Developing Countries are some of the wide range of topics we learn about from Years 7 to 9 and in more depth at GCSE. Geography is offered at AS/A2 level where issues such as City Management, Population Pressures and Geomorphological Hazards are studied.

There are four Geography Teachers, experienced and well-travelled. We have a suite of four bright, well-resourced classrooms. Each classroom is equipped with the latest in digital projection technology and use is made of the Department's extensive digital Intranet teaching resources. A variety of up-to-date textbooks, atlases, journals and videos are used in all lessons.
