GEOGRAPHY

This subject allows knowledge of the location of globally significant places – both on land and in water.  Learners understand key physical and human geographical features of the world, how these are dependent on each other. They collect, analyse and communicate with a range of data gathered through experiences of fieldwork that deepen their understanding of geographical processes.
