​Who we are

Mr E. Kendrick
 
About Geography
The Geography department is all about passion for the world in which we live.  The team hopes to give students the opportunity and skills to understand the huge challenges that exist globally using a wide range of investigative skills.  We hope that our students become thoughtful and enquiring citizens that are globally and environmentally informed.  Our team of geography teachers at Kings International hope that we can inspire the young minds of today to help make changes for the better tomorrow.  We all have a part to play with the future of our planet.

KS3
The geography curriculum covers a range of topics and skills with regards to the modern world in which we live today.  The broad range of content and transferrable skills will give students a fundamental general knowledge that can be used as a foundation for all future courses.
 
GCSE
Examination Board: Eduqas WJEC
 Specification Code   C111QS
 
Course Outline:
 
Geography is a Humanities subject but requires some Maths and Science skills.  It is suitable for students of all abilities.
 
It teaches skills and knowledge that universities and employees value because they are transferable to a wide range of areas.  Many career opportunities arise directly from the study of Geography, for example, Travel & Tourism, Business Management, Surveying, Construction, Planning, Architecture and Design. Resources including maps, visual media, IT and fieldwork are used to deliver the course.  The key reason for studying Geography is to learn about our global environment and to consider the impact of humans with a particular focus on the human and physical environment of the UK.
