The geography department aims to develop successful learners who develop a wide range of skills through its wider range of approaches to learning, including fieldwork, discussion about current issues and use of media. We offer opportunities for pupils to be creative by developing their imaginations of places and investigating and suggesting solutions to local and global issues. We aim to inspire pupils to think about their own place in the world, their values, and their responsibilities to other people, the environment and sustainability.
