The study of Geography helps you to:
• Develop a knowledge and understanding of current events from the local area to the global.
• Investigate the earth and its peoples.
• Study the features of the earth – such as mountains, rivers and seas – and how they were formed.
• Develop a range of useful skills such as map reading, data collection, ICT and problem solving.
