Geography

Geography is a living, breathing subject, constantly adapting itself to change. It is dynamic and relevant. For me Geography is a great adventure with a purpose.”

Michael Palin

We offer an ambitious and engaging Geography curriculum that enriches and inspires all our students to go on in life and achieve their potential. Churchdown Geography provides students with the cultural capital that empowers them to hold their own within a variety of life settings and careers. Whether in the classroom or via the many on-site, local or international fieldwork opportunities that are prioritised in our approach, we want each young person to gain an academic understanding of the physical and human processes that shape our world, while becoming global citizens who are curious, aware and considerate of the challenges facing the planet today.

We plan an enquiry-based curriculum that is rooted in specialised knowledge and builds in opportunities for application within Geography at a range of scales. Geographical knowledge and skills are embedded throughout so that students are confident and able to interrogate information and data in a range of different forms. Students progress in their use and understanding of fieldwork skills, numeracy and other transferable skills, leaving with a skill-set and mind-set that will not only enable them to make sense of the world around them, but also help them to flourish in life and careers beyond school.
