From the depths of the Amazon Rainforest to the intrigues of the Middle East, Geography at King Edwards covers topics wide and varied.  Students will gain a broad global understanding of many exciting topics throughout Key Stage 3, 4 and 5.  Students will learn about the Natural and Human world as each topic takes them on a journey around the world.  They will find out about the complex interactions between people and the planet. Geography at King Edwards aims to make each of our students a more informed global citizen and prepare them for life in an ever changing world. ​

​Geography is taught at Key Stage 3 and GCSE and is offered at A Level as part of The Stafford Collegiate.

Whether students choose Geography as an option or merely enjoy it through Key Stage 3, we as a Department feel it is a subject of absolute importance.  In a global world we need to understand the ever-changing interactions that occur daily.  At King Edward's we aim to equip our students with these life skills.   ​

Key Stage 3

From Year 7 our students are given the opportunity to sample a range of exciting topics, some you may expect and some you may not.   All aspects of Geography are covered from learning about natural hazards to the geography of development.  Each topic builds upon the next so that by the end of Year 9 our students have the necessary skills required to go on to take Geography at GCSE, a choice many make. ​

GCSE

At GCSE we currently follow the WJEC B GCSE syllabus.  This uses the skills previously developed at Key Stage 3 and builds on them.  The course follows several themes, such as changing places – changing economies; changing environments and environmental challenges.  There are many fieldwork opportunities, both locally and further afield.  Students will have the chance to produce investigations around Stafford and Birmingham. We believe that fieldwork is vital and allows our students the opportunity to explore in detail something they may not otherwise have the chance to see. ​
