The Angmering School

The phrase ‘Geography is everywhere’ is one that is often used, but equally it is also a statement that is very relevant. Throughout their time at Angmering your child will study elements of Geography from across the world and be introduced to ideas and concepts which are engaging and fascinating.

In the classroom Geography is taught in a way, which is very different to what you may have experienced as parents/carers. The modern Geography curriculum is focused upon the way in which people interact with the world and the impacts (positive and negative) that this can have. Whilst pupils will continue to study more ‘traditional’ Geography topics such as river processes and plate tectonics, pupils will also engage in topics that have a heavy emphasis on the UKs physical and human characteristics, as well as its global and political position within the world. Please refer to the Geography Key Stage guides for further information relating to the content of Key Stage 3, 4 and 5. The Geography department is also keen to engage pupils by using different teaching techniques and strategies. Throughout their Geography lessons pupils will use a range of resources including ICT and Ipads as well as materials from a range of sources including governments and charities. As part of their studies pupils will participate in group work and individual tasks as well as develop their presentation skills through a range of topics including being a ‘weather presenter’ for a day using our green screen.

The Geography department strongly believes in the future of Geography and its relevance and importance to your child. We also believe that your child will be given the opportunities to be very successful and thrive at Geography throughout their time at Angmering.
