Geography

Geography is taught in specialist rooms in a suited area at the top of the Humanities Tower. There are three specialist teachers in our department who all have interactive whiteboards in their rooms to fully exploit the resources and latest software to make their teaching as relevant and up to date as possible.

The curriculum is delivered in a modular format each with its own assessments so that pupil progress is constantly assessed and monitored.

At Key Stage 3 we cover all the topics which will be needed at Key Stage 4 and we develop all the skills any Geographer needs. In line with school policy we ensure that all school pupils have the opportunity to develop their literacy skills, numeracy skills, the Arts and ICT by integrating these areas into our schemes of work.

At Key Stage 4 we undertake AQA Specification A. Included in this is a piece of coursework based around issues of land use in Birmingham.

We also offer Geography at Post-16.  Again this a  Specification offered by AQA and builds upon the knowledge, understanding and skills learnt at GCSE.
