1. Curriculum, staffing and resources

Geography is taught as a specific subject at KS3 and KS4. The emphasis is placed on providing a demanding and innovative curriculum that is both accessible and challenging for all students. Lessons take place in a calm atmosphere, where the sharing of learning experiences is valued, and enquiry-led learning is the norm.

Levels of achievement are consistently high at KS3. Students follow a knowledge rich curriculum enhancing their ability to communicate and work collaboratively as well as develop independence within and beyond the classroom. 

GCSE Geography is a popular option and is taught in mixed ability classes, with all students following the Eduqas B specification. Emphasis is placed on an appreciation of the world in which we live, through enquiry-led learning. A range of assessment activities enable students to successfully access the diverse demands of the exam and, combined with a focus on self-awareness, students are well placed to fulfil their potential. 

Fieldwork is an essential component of the KS4 curriculum. During the Summer Term all Year 10 GCSE Geography students visit Dorset, to practise the skills and to collect the data required to support their Unit 3 examination. This year we have built skills development and analysis throughout the course.
