Geography

Head of Department: Miss E Clark

The Geography curriculum starts in Year 7 with an in-depth study of the earth and its climate system. Moving from this, pupils then start to learn about how people interact with the world by looking at a variety of geographical skills and concepts.

Over time, the curriculum then develops key themes in both physical and human geography - natural hazards, rivers, coasts, ecosystems, population, migration, development and sustainability.

Pupils are taught case studies and in-depth country studies to wider their understanding of geographical concepts. By the time they sit the Edexcel GCSE Geography qualification in Year 11, pupils will have visited each key concept at least three times, each time spiralling through the content to deepen their knowledge and understanding.
