Geography
“One of the top private sixth form colleges in London, backed up by results”
Geography
Geography is a diverse and engaging subject, led by our former Vice Principal Nick Dommett. Students explore not only the physical structure of the earth, but also the social structure and how the world is constantly changing. The study of Geography develops skills relating to map reading, data analysis and fieldwork, and also involves plenty of discussion and research to understand and work towards resolving global issues.
