Geography at Almondbury High School and Language College aims to engage pupils with the world around them.

KS3

Physical and Human Geography is taught via a topic based curriculum. Each topic spans the breadth of geographical themes and builds a detailed knowledge of the world.

Pupils are encouraged to investigate issues themselves and explore their environment. Thinking skills and enquiry are central to our work.

Literacy and communication skills are developed through our teaching and pupils are encouraged to be critical thinkers. Questioning, researching, observing, presenting, concluding and evaluating are core skills in Geography.
