GeoGRAPHY

Students at LHAA who study GCSE Geography will study a range of topics which look at the natural world and how it works, and the human interactions with this natural world. They will develop an understanding of key social, environmental and economic issues including development, the economic changes in the UK, poverty, resources, the major ecosystems in the world and natural hazards that impact human development.  

Throughout the course, our students will develop the ability to be critical thinkers, asking questions about their role in the world and how humans’ impact on the world in which we live. They will develop the skills to analyse and interpret information available to them and discuss, assess and evaluate with a high degree of advanced thinking.  

Students will learn to use and apply a range of skills that will be cross-curricular, including the ability to use basic maths skills such as interquartile ranges, the ability to collect, manipulate, and present data including data they have collected themselves and the ability to write in a coherent and logical way with a high degree of vocabulary and literacy skill.   

Our students will develop an awareness of important global issues. They will become highly skilled, well-rounded individuals who will play a role in society with a high degree of citizenship and a consideration for moral responsibility. Most importantly, we will develop students who have the ability to ask questions about how humans interact with the planet and, who hopefully will become successful advocates for the world in which they live.
