Here at Central Academy we provide our students in KS3 (Years
7 & 8) with the opportunity to explore a wide range of Human and Physical
Geographical themes, with the aim of developing their knowledge and
understanding of diverse places, people and resources that help shape our world
today.
In Geography we offer a high quality education that inspires
students to be more curious about the world in which they live in, and how it
may change over the course of their lives.
As students progress through KS3, their growing knowledge
about the world will help them deepen their understanding of the interaction
between physical and human processes and the formation and use of landscapes
and environments.
The aims of our KS3
Geography curriculum are to ensure that all students:
- Develop
contextual knowledge of the location of globally significant places
- Understand
the processes that give rise to physical and human geographical features of the
world
Are competent in
Geographical skills that are needed to:
- Collect,
analyse and communicate with a wide range of data gathered through fieldwork
- Interpret
a range of sources of Geographical information including maps, diagrams, globes
and aerial photographs
- Communicate
Geographical information in a variety of ways, including through maps,
numerical and quantitative skills and writing at length
