The Downs School Geography department is delighted to announce, that it has been awarded the ‘MetMark’, which recognises excellent practise in teaching weather and climate in schools. The teachers completed the ‘Come Rain or shine’ RMetS CPD course as well as other Weather and Climate CPD. During lockdown, students also created simple weather instruments and used them to record data, with their data and learning combined in a project titled ‘will it be a white Christmas?’
