We create lessons that encourage students to think and speak like a geographer and give them a local, national and international perspective of places and spaces around them.
We ensure students understand how all the human, physical and environmental processes around us change over time so they can understand our changing world. They will debate and discuss issues that will concern their futures while using geographical language and developing their extended writing skills.
We aim to highlight the importance of critical thinking as they understand the human development of the world and the impacts this has socially, economically and environmentally.
Enrichment

Assessment

Careers
We often integrate job examples into our scheme of work for students to consider the fields that link to the subject, such as who monitors our weather and why and how jobs can support local people in the tourism industry.
