Aims of the Department
The Humanities Department at Fulham Boys School comprises of Geography and History. Our aim is to develop enquiring minds which are capable of addressing the most complex issues with the critical eye of an historian - probing sources and questioning interpretations, drawing parallels and considering consequences - and the critical eye of a geographer - identifying patterns and investigating process, examining examples and guaguing approaches.
By the end of the Year 9 boys in both History and Geography will have had the opportunity to explore a wide range of ideas, events and issues as well as developing the skills that underpin each subject.
Our approach to lessons
The approach to teaching and learning in Geography at the Fulham Boys School is designed to equip boys with the knowledge, skills and understanding to address the complex environmental, social and economic issues facing tomorrow’s world. The curriculum provides boys with a comprehensive understanding of the physical processes which shape our natural world and gives them the opportunity to learn how to critically evaluate the human and physical challenges that arise as humanity continues its strive for progress.
