Year 9 students begin the year working on an Easter Island project, they then move onto Passport to the World which looks into different types of tourism. In January students move onto Danger, Death and Destruction where they look at a variety of natural hazards.

In Years 10 and 11, students study both human and physical geography as part of their GCSE course.  We follow the Edexcel A specification. This includes work on Weather Hazards and Climate Change, Resource Management, Changing Landscapes of the UK, Ecosystems and Biodiversity, Changing Cities and Global Development. There are compulsory fieldwork day trips in both years 10 and 11.

A level students follow the AQA specification. We do not offer AS Geography. Topics covered are Hazards, Changing Places, Coastal Systems and Landscapes, Contemporary Urban Environments, Water and Carbon Cycles and Global Systems and Global Governance. Fieldwork is a key feature of A Level and trips to Harrold Country Park, Birmingham, Ampthill and Brick Lane are compulsory. We also offer an optional trip to Iceland (subject to numbers and availability).

The department has a well-stocked library of independent study materials, a study room and access to ICT facilities.
