Why study Geography?

The Earth is likely to change more in the next 50 years than it has ever done before. Geography explains why, and helps to prepare you for those changes.
Geography stimulates an interest in and sense of wonder about places, people and the environment. It helps us make sense of a complex and dynamically changing world and how society, economies and environment combine to bring about change. Through Geography we learn where places are, how places and landscapes are formed, how people and their environment interact and how a diverse range of economies, societies and environments are interconnected.

ICT is used throughout our scheme of work to help you embed your learning. GIS is used in learning such as Google Earth and Digimaps. You will present you learning through a variety of methods such as extended writing and debate, where you will be encouraged to justify your own opinions on the issues we will learn.
