Geography is an extremely important part of the school curriculum, and is a very cross-curricular subject. The emphasis in lessons is on topicality and relevance.

The Geography Department's aims are...

• To widen each pupil's awareness, knowledge and understanding of the world around them - its places and its physical and human processes.
• To encourage a understanding of the interactions between human and physical processes.
• To encourage a sense of community, responsilibity and international understanding.
• To foster an understanding of interdependence, and the commonality and diversity of human experience throughout the world.
• To enourage concern for, and a sense of stewardship of, the environment, and an understanding of the concept of sustainability.
• To develop skills of graphicacy, enquiry, creativity, analysis, evaluation and problem-solving.
• To encourage students to develop the ability to work both independently and as part of a group.
• To help students to develop the ability to communicate their ideas and views effectively.
