Geography

Course summary

There has never been a better or more important time to study Geography. With growing interest in issues like climate change, migration, environmental degradation and social cohesion, Geography is one of the most relevant courses you will study. Our teachers draw on a rich variety of experiences to stimulate an interest in, and a sense of wonder about, places, and to help you make sense of our complex world. We explain how places and landscapes are formed, how people and their environment interact, and how a diverse range of economies, societies and environments are interconnected. For our Sixth Formers, we seek to engender: knowledge and understanding of the planet and its peoples; a lasting awareness of the complex and dynamic world around us; sensitivity, tolerance and empathy towards all others; and critical and independent thinking.
