What is Geography?

In very broad terms, Geography teaches students about the Earth’s places, peoples, environments and societies.

At the core of the subject lies the understanding of the relationships and impacts between people and the environment.  It recognizes the great differences in cultures, political systems, economies, landscapes and environments across the world and the links between them.

Geography as a National Curriculum subject is taught to all students up to Year 9.  After that, students choose whether or not they wish to study Geography further at GCSE.
