Geography

     There is one designated geography rooms in the school. The classroom includes examples of the pupil’s work which they have completed during the year. These are changed once a term. The room is equipped with an interactive board which is used every lesson, to encourage the pupils to use ICT in the lessons and to make the lessons a more enjoyable learning experience

There are three members of staff who teach geography:

• Miss M.John- all geography.

• Miss. C. White- geography, history and r.e

• Mrs.H. Wagner- geography and science 

Key Stage 3

The key stage three course has changed over the last year and now the focus is more on thinking skills.  Pupils are taught around 3 big topics a year. In year 7 these include: map skills, Wales and settlement, year 8: Rivers, weather and climate and development. In year 9 pupils study: volcanoes and earthquakes, tourism, crime and global warming.

Key Stage 4

The G.C.S.E curriculum is changing in September 2009. Here pupils will study 6 topics in year 10 with the option of sitting an examination at the end of the year. Then in year 11 they study 3 different topics and they will also complete their internal assessment which has replaced the coursework. All pupils work has to be completed in class for this, to avoid cheating.
