Our curriculums are engaging and diverse and students receive 2 hours of geography teaching within year 7 one hour in year 8 and two in year 9. Both GCSE cohorts all receive 3 hours a week in years 10 and 11.

We have invested a lot of time and effort into our geography curriculum and provide students with the opportunities to learn outside of the classroom through fieldwork and educational trips and both of these are a focus this year to be developed and enhanced. Students learn about topics that not only are prescribed in the National Curriculum but also those that we feel will make them into more enthusiastic and well rounded geographers. Some of our best received topics include: Coasts Amazing World Asia and Africa Wild Weather Rivers and Climate Change. At GCSE we follow AQA and geography is a popular option choice.
