What’s Happening in the Geography Curriculum?

Our Geography curriculum is designed to inspire curiosity about the world and develop a deep understanding of places, people, and global challenges.

In Year 7, will study a topic on Migration—exploring why people move, the challenges they face, and how migration shapes societies. This encourages empathy and introduces real-world geographical enquiry. Year 8 students focus on Africa, challenging stereotypes and examining the continent’s diverse physical landscapes, cultures, and economies. From the Sahara to the Savannah, they gain a more balanced, nuanced understanding of this vast region. Meanwhile, their peers in Year 9 take on Globalisation, where students investigate how our world is increasingly interconnected. From fashion supply chains to global food markets, they learn to think critically about the pros and cons of a global economy.

In Year 10, students undertake urban fieldwork, collecting data from the City gaining valuable skills in research and evaluation.

Geography at our school is more than maps—it’s about understanding our world and our place in it. This approach aligns with our "Future Ready" philosophy, which aims to equip students with the skills and knowledge necessary to thrive in an ever-changing global landscape. By fostering critical thinking, cultural awareness, and a sense of responsibility, our Geography curriculum prepares students to navigate and contribute positively to the world around them
