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 4 Geography Teachers – experienced and well-travelled. We have a suite of 4 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.

Students are encouraged to set out and explore their environment:

• Year 7 pupils travel to Le Touquet, northern France to investigate the geography of a French seaside resort.
• Year 8 pupils investigate coastal landforms and management on the south coast.
• GCSE pupils investigate the relationship between geology, landscapes and land use on the North Downs. In addition GCSE coursework data collection takes place on the River Tillingbourne.
• Sixth Form pupils venture further with expeditions to the Bernese Oberland, Switzerland forming a regular additional highlight of geographical education at Nonsuch. Year 12 pupils will be travelling to Barcelona for their residential field course in February 2007.
