The Geography Department is a
thriving area of the school and one where students feel confident and able to
succeed. It consists of 3 specialists with a wealth of experience between them.
Classes are taught by extremely competent and experienced geography teachers
who are driven, motivated, organised and enthused. The subject attracts large
numbers at GCSE and A Level and is a popular choice amongst the students with
some continuing their studies to degree level.
We follow the Edexcel
specification at both A Level and GCSE where we specifically follow
specification A. The specification suits the needs of our students and outcomes
are consistently strong with Geography being the best performing Ebacc subject
in the school. The team are committed to their own continuing professional
development and keep up to date with developments not only in the subject but
also related disciplines. This means that we can deliver the best, evidence
informed teaching and learning for each student and in turn, unlock their true
potential. Staff participate regularly in exam board training and performance
evaluation with several being experienced examiners.
