Curriculum
GEOGRAPHY
Geography is the science of place and space. Geographers ask where things are located on the surface of the Earth, why they are located where they are, how places differ from one another, and how people interact with the environment.
Whilst studying GCSE Geography, pupils will:
- Learn about what’s happening in the world around them right now, and what could happen in the future
- Have the opportunity to go on field trips with their class mates to rural and urban settings
- Develop skills including the ability to discuss and debate large-scale problems (e.g. global warming, poverty, pollution, water shortages and natural hazards)
- Gain a sense of environmental responsibility.
Pupils learn to appreciate the complexity of our world and the diversity of its environments, economies and cultures. Through Geography, pupils develop an understanding of the global political issues that occur between countries, cultures, cities and their hinterlands, and between regions within countries.
