Geography is a very contemporary subject, and so looking at the recent geographical developments, you will regularly be analysing current world events. A lesson might be paused to follow ongoing negotiations from a global climate change conference. You will have a chance to decide who should take responsibility for China’s growing carbon emissions. Should developing countries be allowed to increase their emissions whilst developed nations are reducing theirs? We are fortunate to live in a city where world-class institutions offer a range of free public lectures; information about these will be shared and you will be encouraged to attend. The skills that you learn in Geography are as important as the content; you will learn to read large quantities of information quickly and pick out what is important. You will learn to analyse data, identifying trends and patterns. You will feel confident in linking what you are learning in Geography to your other subjects, whether that’s biodiversity in biology, colonialism in history, Marxism in sociology, trade patterns in economics or superpowers in politics. You will be expected to read widely, write extensively, analyse succinctly, take an active interest in how you can apply what you are learning in class to the world around you, and you will need to be prepared to actively participate in class. You will however be well supported to learn these skills, and the enjoyment that will come from studying the subject will be considerable.
