Open Morning Saturday 2nd October 10am-1pm
Geography at Ditcham Park School
In Geography we aim to stimulate pupils' interest in their surroundings and to increase their understanding of the world around them. We also seek to develop informed concern about the quality of the environment and explain issues that are of topical significance. The department maintains a news board of current issues as reported through the press and media. As Ditcham Park School is situated in an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, full use is made of the grounds and the surrounding area for fieldwork. For example, pupils will learn the skills of fieldsketching Ditcham Park's panoramic views, survey the grounds, study its microclimates, and visit a local farm to study the land use pattern.
