Geography - KS3
In geography, our aim is for students to develop their curiosity about physical and human environments and how they interact; to develop an understanding of wider global issues, their significance and the role of the individual in influencing global outcomes and sustainability. To equip students with the transferable skills they need to be global citizens.
By the end of KS3, a student will have a working knowledge of where places area and how physical and human factors impact those places. Students should know key differences between physical and human geography and the core processes (globalisation and erosional processes) that impact these areas. Students begin to develop important geographical and map reading skills that begin to interpret and analyse different sets of data for example, maps and graphs. Finally, students begin to write extended answers to essay questions which consider spatial and time scale and impact on people, the economy, and the environment. This is achieved through topics such as, “continents and cultures”, “amazing islands” and “the almighty dollar”.
