Geography
The Geography department aims to stimulate an interest and sense of wonder about places. We want students to make sense of the complex and dynamic world that they live in. As students study Geography they are taught to appreciate different societies and cultures. This helps students realise the interdependence between places- it inspires students to think about their own place in the world and their responsibilities to other people and the environment.
