Geography
"Geography is all around us."
In our every day lives from deciding whether to put the washing out, to complaining about the traffic in town, to putting the recycling box out our actions both effect the Earth and its processes and are, in turn, affected by the Earth's processes. In Geography you will study a vast range of topics and see how you have a role to play in making sure that the Earth has a healthy future.
Just some of the topics you will cover at Key Stage 3 (Years 7 to 9) include As you can see Geography is a subject where you will study the real world and real people, tackling real life issues. You will also do a number of activities based on the local area, including the relocation of Shrewsbury Town Football Club, flooding in
Geography is an extremely popular and successful GCSE and we make sure that the work you do at Key Stage 3 thoroughly prepares you for it. You will follow the AQA Specification A GCSE which involves two exams at the end of Year 11 and one piece of fieldwork which is based on a study of the impact of tourism on Dovedale in the Peak District. We believe that one measure of the popularity of the GCSE is the large proportion of pupils who go on to study Geography at Sixth Form level. During your lessons you will learn through a great variety of different methods, These include using the internet, videos, photographs, newspaper and magazine articles, discussions, group work, games, poetry, fieldwork and thinking skills amongst many others.
We believe that all pupils should be stretched and challenged in an enjoyable and positive working environment, finding out about both the world around them and the role they have to play in it.
