Geography - Stanwell School
The world in which we live is likely to
change more in the next 50 years than it has
ever done before Geography explains why
these changes will take place and helps you
to prepare you for the future
Geography Matters
It will enable you to learn and develop a number
of skills
Environmental
Awareness
Read and
interpret maps
Including GIS
Communication Problem Solving Team WorkUse of a variety
of information
sources
Analysis of
different types of
data
Empathy for
other people
Equipped with these skills Geographers are
among the most employable people Royal
Geographical Society research indicates that the
most popular career destinations are
bullManagement and Administration 41
bullFurther training 25
bullFinancial Sector 11
bullRetail Sector 10
bullOther professions 13
(including media)
Why GCSE Geography
bullGeography provides the opportunity for students to
understand more about the world the challenges it faces and
their place within it
bullThe GCSE course will deepen understanding of geographical
processes illuminate the impact of change and of complex
people-environment interactions highlight the dynamic links
and interrelationships between places and environments at
different scales and develop studentsrsquo competence in using
a wide range of geographical investigative skills and
approaches
bullGeography enables young people to become globally and
environmentally informed and thoughtful enquiring citizens
lsquoA high quality geography
education should inspire in
pupils a curiosity and
fascination about the world its
people that will remain with
them for the rest of their livesrsquo
Geography is outside and all around
us an our responsibility is to help
our children understand the world
around them
