Geography

At a purely personal level, everybody should be interested in the world around them and in investigating issues concerning people, places and the environment.

Geography at Winchester is about the real world; for example globalisation, deforestation, e-commerce, climate change and biodiversity. Through this subject, Wykehamists learn about the complexity and interconnectedness of their world.     

In our premises in Wellington House, we have full wireless networking, a supply of laptops for every student, colour network printing facilities and interactive whiteboards. These allow us to project and manipulate Internet material, boys' work, and other documents onto the equivalent of a 77-inch screen.

Geography is a popular and rapidly growing subject at Winchester. All boys study Geography in the first year and around fifty take the subject to GCSE level. Around half then continue with Cambridge Pre-U in their final two years. It is usual for several students to go on to study Geography at a variety of universities, including Oxbridge.
