Geography (up to GCSE)
Geography is a popular, academic subject that enables pupils to have access to a variety of opportunities in the future. At GCSE level pupils need an enthusiasm for the world around them. They also need to be able to read and write to a high standard as well as the ability to interpret maps and graphs. Over the two years, pupils will develop skills in research and to be able to analyse and explain the interaction between people and the environment that surrounds them. We follow the AQA exam syllabus.

Subject Vision
In Geography we aim to provide an adventurous and progressive curriculum that covers a broad range of topics in both human and physical geography. We encourage pupils of all abilities to challenge themselves by teaching to the top and giving the support they need to reach their given potential. The Geography learning journey will inspire pupils to become independent learners and develop a curiosity to find out about the world around them.
