KS 3 - GEOGRAPHY

In Years 7 and 8, students study a wide variety of topics as part of the Project Based Learning Programme, including:

• Map Skills
• Development
• Ecosystems
• Weather
• Development
• Rivers

The topics of work which students cover at Key Stage 3 develops knowledge of places and environments throughout the world and a range of investigative and problem-solving skills both inside and outside the classroom. It inspires students to think about their own place in the world, their values, and their rights and responsibilities to other people and the environment. Geography has many cross curricular links which helps students develop their understanding across a range of subjects.The topics, issues and skills covered during Year 7 and 8 provides an excellent foundation for GCSE Geography.

Students’ work is assessed at the end of each Module in a variety of different ways from newspaper reports to group presentations and extended writing.
