Geography is the study of the Earth’s surface. It includes the study of the physical and human processes that shape the environment, places and patterns at the Earth’s surface, and the people who live there. Most pupils enjoy the scope of the material they cover in Geography, the insights it can provide into understanding the world around us and the sheer contemporary nature of the issues it tackles.
