“Geography is the subject that holds the key to our future”
Michael Palin

In years 7-9 the pupils’ follow a course that is based on the demands of the National Curriculum.  It is constantly being updated and refined to meet the demands of the pupils’ and the ever changing nature of Geography.  The broad curriculum topics vary but the emphasis and focus in Year 7 is local, regional and national, in Year 8 the emphasis is on European Geography and in year 9 the focus turns Global.
The pupils’ knowledge, skills and understanding are measured by a process of continual assessment to inform not only their individual progress but also inform future teaching and learning requirements.

At GCSE the pupils follow the OCR Examination course (Bristol Project).  This specification allows the progression from years 7-9.  It develops the knowledge, skills and understanding further and allows pupils to integrate different aspects of Geography and allow them to reflect on their own values and opinions.
The broad themes for study are:

1. Physical Systems and Environments
2. Natural Hazards and People
3. Economic Systems and Development
4. Population and Development
5. Sustainable Development

Post 16 studies follow the AQA Geography syllabus.  This syllabus is designed to increase the choice offered to students studying GCE Geography, allowing for specialism and progression to higher education and employment. 
The AQA Geography specification offers a strong foundation in both physical and human geography and in practical applied skills.  It addresses many themes which are, and will be, important during this century such as concern for the environment and an appreciation of global changes and inequalities.  The specification allows students to develop an in-depth knowledge and understanding of physical, human and environmental geography whilst also exploring the interrelationships between physical and human environments in a synoptic context
