The Geography lessons at Oakdale Comprehensive School have been adapted to meet the requirements of the National Curriculum. However, we have retained the best elements of our teaching which have evolved over the years into what we hope is a relevant and enjoyable course.
Teaching follows an investigative approach and pupils work in groups, as well as learning individually. Fieldwork, the use of computers and other multimedia equipment enhance and supplement traditional teaching methods.
