Curriculum Intent
In geography students study the past, present and future of the world. Places are studied, at a variety of different scales, by looking at the human and physical processes that shape and change them. Geographical skills, such as locational, analytical and critical thinking skills are gained throughout KS3-KS4. We provide an ambitious and diverse curriculum that inspire curiosity and fascination about the world and its people. This curriculum allows students to develop characteristics such as empathy, respect and understanding of on going global processes and events through looking at a range of case studies. Geographers at City Academy will leave as informed and passionate global citizens.
In KS3 we cover a breadth of locational topics which looks at geographical processes and events on a local, national and global scale. Topics such as Birmingham, New Zealand and Prisoners of Geography. In KS4 students will look at how physical and human geography interact and have opportunities for fieldwork in both areas. Students will study topics such as natural hazards, global ecosystems, the development gap and resource management.
