Geography

The Geography Department will provide pupils with a high quality education leading them to a thorough knowledge and understanding of man's interaction with his environment; an appreciation of the issues arising and an acquisition of the skills necessary to carry out their own investigations.

To achieve this, pupils will be taught, guided and supported; offered a broad and balanced curriculum conforming to but exceeding the National requirements; and through appropriate resourcing ensure equality of opportunity for all.

Detailed Objectives for Age and Ability Groups

It is the aim of the Department that all pupils shall acquire knowledge and understanding of places, processes and issues and develop a range of Geographical enquiry skills. The teaching methods employed should facilitate each pupil to maximize his/her own potential. In this way it is believed that each pupil will develop an interest in his/her surroundings and become a more informed and responsible citizen.

All pupils will be taught in mixed ability groups but the level of work will be differentiated according to ability. Candidates proceeding to GSCE level will be entered for AQA specification A at the tier appropriate to the ability.
