GEOGRAPHY

Geography is an exciting and challenging subject, the study of which offers pupils the opportunity to develop their understanding of the world around them and, in particular, the interaction between people, places and the environment. Pupils study a range of geographical ‘themes’, such as rivers, and focus on a variety of locations.
Within the context of these and other subject units, pupils are able to develop their geographical skills, their knowledge of current and local issues and a sense of identity. We seek to foster a concern for the conservation of the natural environment and develop a respect for people from other cultures and communities.

Learning activities in Geography are wideranging and involve investigations, enquiries, projects, displays and presentations, whilst current resources incorporate aerial photographs,
ordnance survey maps, databases, CD ROMs and a computer linked automatic weather station.
