Geography is taken by all students at Key Stage 3 and is an option at Key Stage 4. Pupils who choose Geography as an option will study GCSE Geography.
Geography encompasses a variety of ICT based resources within the lessons through the use of laptops and chromebooks. We also use specialist data mapping tools, to create rich GIS (“Graphical Information System”) maps to analyze spatial information, edit data in maps, and present the results of all these operations.
