Geography at King Charles I School:

Geography - studying the Earth’s surface features and related human activity – has a vital place in the 21st century curriculum. Geography helps us understand our own lives in a global world and face vital issues like climate change, the ‘war on terror’, water, energy and food security and poverty eradication.

Geography offers fascinating insights into the way human and physical processes interact. We hear every day that the world is short of space, that human beings are placing greater and greater demands on the Earth and its systems. But is ‘drought’ a human or physical phenomenon? What about hurricanes? Or flooding? Geography gives us the language and techniques to approach these questions with confidence.
