| Aims |
| • |
To ensure students
have an appreciation of the landscape and
their environment |
| • |
To instil enjoyment
and respect for the subject that extends beyond
the classroom |
| • |
To ensure students
are proficient in their factual knowledge
of the world |
| • |
To enable students
to use a range of geographical skills that
foster enquiry |
|
Throughout Key Stage 3 and 4, we
use videos, internet research, encourage discussion,
debates and role-plays, use competitions and quizzes,
and there is a ‘Geography Now’ board showing
the relevance of Geography to our everyday lives,
as well as a constantly changing display of students
work. We also have an Interactive Whiteboard in
the department!
