Details of KS3 Geography

The study of geography stimulates an interest in, and a sense of wonder about places, and helps make sense of a complex and dynamically changing world. It explains how places and landscapes are formed and how people and the environment interact. We build on pupils' own experiences to investigate a wide range of topic areas from the personal to a global scale. By the end of KS3 pupils will have developed an understanding of place, space, scale, interdependence, environmental interaction, cultural understanding and diversity and physical and human processes.
