Geography
In geography, our curriculum is designed to develop students into informed and responsible global citizens by inspiring curiosity about the world’s people, places, and environments, including physical and human processes at local, national and global scales. Furthermore, it aims to develop core geographical knowledge, skills and enquiry-based thinking by empowering students to think geographically and participate in discussions around local and global challenges. By equipping students to engage with real-world issues such as sustainability, climate change, migration, and urbanisation for the purpose of reflecting on the world around them we are nurturing essential skills for lifelong learning, employability, and citizenship in order to foster a sense of place, identity, and interconnectedness.
KS3
At KS3 students are introduced to, and then continue to explore key geographical skills and concepts, including map skills and aspects of physical, human and environmental geography. Our curriculum at KS3 is designed with key threads across the three years culminating in a rich and diverse tapestry of skills and knowledge.
KS4
At KS4 students explore the interactions between the physical environment and human activities through a range of physical and human geography units, including two fieldwork visits. At KS4 students follow the AQA GCSE Geography syllabus which is assessed across three, 1 hour 30 minute exams papers.
KS5
At KS5 students explore the interactions between the physical environment and human activities through a range of physical and human geography units, including fieldwork and completing an NEA (non examined Assessment - an independent investigation in an area of geography of their choice).
