Geography

Geography is taught for three lessons per fortnight to all pupils in Year 9  to reinforce the basic understanding acquired in Years 7 and 8.  Students study a range of topics in Year 9 including  ‘Urban Challenges and Opportunities’. To support  this unit a fieldwork enquiry is undertaken to Brighton to study urban challenges: this experience secures high quality learning and is excellent preparation for building the data collection and analysis skills required at GCSE level in this subject.
