Geography
“Geography is a great adventure with purpose” (Michael Palin) and at DHSB this is no exception. Geography is a dynamic, engaging subject and we have a huge responsibility to prepare our young men to be successful in an ever changing and complex world.
​
It is imperative that students are able to grasp world events and the context in which they occur and our students are taught to question and investigate – skills that we believe will allow them to become effective citizens of the world. Geography teaching is strong. Engaging and challenging pedagogy ensures a balance between intellectual and practical skills within lessons.
​
Our curriculum is developed so students enjoy a blend of human and physical Geography, crucial as they move into GCSE and A level. Fieldwork is an important skill; we endeavour to make yearly visits for our students that include our local areas of Devonport and Stonehouse and further afield to Dartmoor and Pembrokeshire. We even run a trip to Iceland during Curriculum Enrichment Week.
