There are 2 Geography Rooms; each with an intractive white board, laptop, TV and video. Classes also have access to the ICT suites through timetabling.
All pupils study Geography at KS3. This gives them a solid foundation for GCSE. Geography is an option subject at GCSE. Pupils are involved in a variety of experiences to help them.
The geography department works alongside its federation partner at St. Gregory's. The first initiative between the schools is the establishment of a quiz for Gifted and Talented Pupils.
The department aims to ensure that all pupils are aware of their own attainment and the steps needed to make further progress. Opportunities have been developed for self assessment via pupil record booklets; level descriptors in pupil speak and target setting. Peer assessment was introduced via PowerPoint presentations and pupils reviewing each others' work. Display boards are regularly updated with examples of pupils work at different levels and there is a report system on the database that allows staff to record progress and inform home about progress via reports which are sent out once per term.
As well as running revision classes there is a geography club that meets once every week at lunch time.
