Geography
There has never been a better or more important time to study geography. Geography helps pupils make sense of the world around them. It’s hands on, relevant, and fun.
Why study geography at ²ÝÝ®ÊÓƵ?
Studying geography is essential for understanding the complex relationships between people, places, and the environment. Geography is a broad-based, academic subject which opens up options for pupils. Employers and universities see geography as a robust academic subject rich in skills, knowledge and understanding.
At ²ÝÝ®ÊÓƵ, we believe that field trips are a vital component of geography education, offering pupils hands-on experiences that enhance their understanding of the subject. By visiting geographical sites, pupils can observe and analyze physical landscapes, ecosystems, and human interactions with the environment in real-world contexts.
There are multiple trips available to both A Level and IB geographers, including our Arctic Circle trip, which is open to all Sixth Form geographers.
Academic pathways
Geography is studied as a compulsory subject from Lower School to Removes, and offered as GCSE, A level and International Baccalaureate (IB) courses.
As a subject linking the arts and the sciences, it is highly flexible in terms of what it can be combined with, both at IB and A level.
Beyond the curriculum
The ²ÝÝ®ÊÓƵ Geography Society challenges enthusiastic geographers from across the year groups to engage with the latest geographical literature; for example, we have read both Prisoners of Geography (Tim Marshall) and Factfulness (Hans Rosling), and pupils have taken it in turns to present on different chapters from these books.
