Year 7 Geography
Cherish the natural World, because you’re a part of it and you depend on it’ – Sir David Attenborough.
Geography is very relevant to help young people make sense of a complex and dynamically changing world, it is the study of Earth’s landscapes, places and environments. It is a study of the people and the impact we have on the world in which we live. In geography you will investigate how and why the world is changing, globally and locally but also, how human actions can alter natural changes and events.
It is our aim that our curriculum will inspire and develop a curiosity in our students about the world around us, encouraging them to have a responsible attitude towards our world and become lifelong learners. Students will
- develop an understanding of physical and human environments and processes;
- develop an understanding of the diverse character of places and landscapes at different scales;
Through their Geography studies, our students will also develop a range of important and transferable skills, for example,
- interpret, analyse and evaluate geographical information and issues to make judgements and develop an argument;
- develop and demonstrate a range of map, graph and numeracy skills;
- complete fieldwork; enquiries which include collecting primary data outside the classroom and school grounds.

These are divided into half term learning opportunities and can be found in the documents below.
