    Geography

    "Geography is the subject which holds the key to our future” – Michael Palin

    A place to inspire you to: take risks; express your ideas in new ways; develop your cultural awareness; foster resilience; become empowered; have fun and, above all, flourish.

    A high-quality geography education should inspire in pupils a curiosity and fascination about the world and its people that will remain with them for the rest of their lives. Teaching should equip pupils with knowledge about diverse places, people, resources and natural and human environments, together with a deep understanding of the Earth’s key physical and human processes. As pupils progress, their growing knowledge about the world should help them to deepen their understanding of the interaction between physical and human processes, and of the formation and use of landscapes and environments. Geographical knowledge, understanding and skills provide the frameworks and approaches that explain how the Earth’s features at different scales are shaped, interconnected and change over time. Adapted from National Curriculum, DfE, 2013

    In studying geography with us, we aim to develop your knowledge and understanding of both the human and physical world around you, engage in issues facing us both locally and globally and help to develop you into an empathetic and informed global citizen, ready to go out and explore the world with your eyes open.
