All pupils will be entitled to a course of study that fulfils the statutory requirements of the National Curriculum at Key stage 3 and 4; and the syllabus requirements of AQA GCSE Geography.
In Key Stage 3 this will involve;
The range and content requirements laid down in the programme of study for Geography- the understanding of Place, space, scale, interdependence, physical and human processes, environmental interaction and sustainable development, and cultural understanding and diversity.
These concepts are professionally taught through the use of:
Geographical enquiry- Asking questions, solving problems, using evidence, etc.
Fieldwork and out of classroom learning,
Graphicacy and visual literacy- Using photographs, maps, images, etc.
Geographical communication- The ability to communicate effectively through writing.
We also need to foster cross curricular links, in particular promoting literacy, numeracy and PHSE within Geography lessons.
