Geography is a ‘real world’ subject, applicable to every aspect of life. The study of geography should create more globally conscious and informed citizens.

Geographers should understand how the world works and know their actions can have impacts upon it.  Our aim is to give learners the skills to ‘think like a Geographer’; be socially and environmentally aware, think critically about the world in which they live and analyse situations from an environmental, social, political, and economic perspective.

Keeping Geography current is crucial to make it engaging and relevant and fieldwork is an essential part of the geography curriculum, developing transferable skills such as teamwork and adaptability.

In physical geography, students will gain an understanding of the physical processes at work shaping the landscape, how climate operates and influences all aspects of physical and human life at local to global scale. 

In human geography, students will develop an understanding of how humans interact with the world and that our actions can have consequences if not managed carefully.  We aim to develop an understanding that not all people live in the same circumstances and the reasons for and consequences of this.

The key theme of sustainability threads through the KS3 curriculum and is built on at KS4.  The KS3 curriculum is designed to underpin KS4 by developing the relevant knowledge, geographical and extended writing skills needed for success.
