Geography GCSE / IGCSE

Students choose Geography because it encompasses the planet they live on, how they live on it and how they can manage it. Geography is all around us and is changing all the time. It is an incredibly relevant subject and as teachers we endeavour to make our teaching of Geography as up to date as possible, consistently using recent examples from around the world.

Hands on experience, including fieldwork is vital for enthusing Key Stage 4 students and supporting their understanding of GCSE geography by looking at real life case studies and examples. It is also important that students develop their fieldwork enquiry skills, so they can maximise their performance in GCSE coursework.


Key Stage 4 geography fieldwork programmes are fixed length courses with clearly stated outcomes that enable teachers to quickly and easily book a GCSE geography fieldwork trip, safe in the knowledge that it will be directly related to work taught in the classroom and will contribute to achieving the curriculum.


As well as covering specific elements of the GSCE geography curriculum all programmes also place a strong emphasis on developing personal confidence and team-building skills and an opportunity to consider aspects of Citizenship.
