The GCSE Geography course focuses attention upon People and the Environment and deals with a range of current issues. Geography answers questions like:
What problems are created by coasts?
How do people cope with hazards?
Is the atmosphere a resource or a hazard?
Where do people live and work? Why is this?
What do people do in their spare time and what impact does this have on the world?
What are the implications of population growth on resources?
We study issues locally, nationally and internationally, enabling students to understand human and environmental problems on a global scale. Geographical skills include map interpretation, graphicacy, problem solving and data handling. Students will take part in a variety of decision making exercises,role plays and simulations, utilising a variety of teaching and learning styles.
Fieldwork is an important part of the course, involving visits to recreational areas and the opportunity to take part in a residential field week in Dorset.
