Welcome to Senior Geography

The Geography department believes that the subject should be taught through direct experience of the real world as well as classroom instruction. Enthusiastic staff with a wide variety of experience ensure that the subject is brought to life and that results are outstanding.

Topics and Aims & Curriculum

Pupils, aged 11 to 14 years, follow a Geography Course at Key Stage 3 (Years 7 - 9). This covers a range of Physical, Human and Environmental Topics as well as Geographical Skills and Enquiry Techniques.

In Year 10, pupils have the opportunity to take a two-year course at GCSE Level (AQA Specification 'A'). As part of this course there is a residential field course week on the Isle of Arran, off the west coast of Scotland.

Geography is a popular subject in the School with two sets at GCSE level and a growing number of pupils following the subject at Advanced Level.

GCSE Results

The department consistently adds value to students results, up to 3 standard deviations above the norm in a recent peak period. Grades in 2008 include 2A, 6B, 3C.
