whilst learning at the same time.

Geography gives
you transferable skills.
Geography not only teaches you about the world and everything in it,
but it also gives you skills that you can use outside the classroom,
such as communication, organisation, ICT, team work and presentation
skills, alongside the useful skills that you need to pass GCSE, such
as map reading, and data interpretation.

Great teaching
staff!
The geography department is one of the leading departments in the
school, with a team of dedicated, knowledgeable and approachable
teachers who want the best for you.
-
ICT.
New advances in technology mean that geography is becoming
increasingly high tech. Maps and data are now available
online, making it easier to access resources, and giving you more
skills to take away.
-
Employment.
People who study geography rarely struggle to find jobs. This
is because employers value geographers' abilities to analyse and
interpret information. As a geographer you will be used to
working in a team, and making decisions with other people.
When it comes to getting the job you want, these skills are vital.
