Geography is offered at all schools across the Joint Sixth Form. Geography has a strong emphasis on the study of contemporary issues, i.e. within the last 30 years. In particular, we look at the relationship of human populations to each other over space and time, and their relationship with their physical environment at a variety of scales from the local to the global. Geography also encourages the acquisition of a broad range of skills, many of which will be useful in later life.
