What is Geography?

9th September 2009

Free maps for schools

Schoolchildren across England and Wales have the chance to get their hands on free Ordnance Survey maps.

The initiative offers every Year 7 pupil a free OS Explorer Map and has been an overwhelming success since its launch in 2002, with the 5 millionth map given away last year.

The scheme not only supports learning about geography and the environment but also helps encourage children and their families to get out and about and explore their local area. It has been praised by teachers, pupils and parents alike.
