Geography

Geography is the study of where places are, what they are like, what life is like in them, how and why they are changing, and why there are arguments about how we use them. As a subject it helps to give pupils a greater awareness of major issues of importance which affect our daily life; eg. population growth and distribution, energy supplies, farming and the European Community, industrial development, environmental pollution, Developing World issues and natural disasters.

The emphasis in the Geography Department is on both enjoyment and academic achievement. This is reflected in the department attracting a large number of students at both GCSE and A Level, with a high proportion gaining top grades. Every year girls go on to study the subject at university.
