Geography

At CELC students get the opportunity to study a wide and interesting range of topics that ultimately lead to them undertaking a GCSE in Geography at the end of Year 11. Central to the delivery of the subject is the understanding of the interactive role that humans have daily with the natural world that has evolved around them. Students will have opportunities to research and reflect on how we can have a positive and negative impact on the habitats of plants and animals both on land and in the world’s oceans.

They will be aware of the processes that have shaped and continue to shape our planet and be able to identify the evidence of these processes in existing landforms, including those shaped by tectonic activity, wind and water. They will look at climate change and our role in it through industrialisation, urbanisation, resource management, deforestation and the changing methods in agriculture. Our aim within the Geography department is to ensure all students have an opportunity to be informed and aware of the very real dangers we will encounter soon due to our current actions and attitudes. Students will look at these issues and the processes that cause them on both a local, national scale and on a global scale.

We hope that during their studies within Geography they will become more aware as global citizens of the role they can play in impacting sensitively and kindly on our planet. And, alongside this be mindful of the many processes over many millennia that have gifted us the world we now live in.
