Geography

Through Geography pupils are given opportunities to make sense of their surroundings and to gain an understanding of the natural and human world in which we live. We aim to stimulate pupil's interest in the variety of physical and human conditions on the earth's surface and to foster pupil's sense of wonder at the beauty of the world around them and to help them develop an informed concern about the quality of the environment and its future.

The teaching of geography begins initially with an explanation of the pupils immediate surrounding area. They then move to study the area in which they live and look at issues relating to its use and development. Comparisons are then made between the home region and other parts of the UK and beyond, with geographical knowledge of physical processes gained.
