Geography

Geography is studied by all pupils during years 7, 8 and 9 and is also a popular  GCSE choice during Key Stage 4










Geography is no longer simply the study of capital cities and countries it encompasses the entire world and the people that live on it!

Key stage 3

During key stage 3 we study areas such as:

  • Settlement
  • Tectonics
  • Globalisation
  • The weather
  • Maps
  • Crime
  • Tourism

These areas look at the how’s why’s and what’s of the entire world not simply the where’s!

Key stage 4

Geography at Key stage 4 is very popular and we have record numbers of students wanting to sign up to the two year course. A GCSE in Geography could help you gain employment in areas such as:

Mining (natural resources and precious stones and metals such as diamonds in Africa)!

Oil exploration (working on an oil rig in the Pacific Ocean for example)

Town planning (designing a new town or re-generating an old one)

The Royal Engineers (a division of the Army that are involved in geographical mapping)

And of course.......Teaching.

REMEMBER: Geography is not just about the world........IT IS THE WORLD!
