At KEVIGS, our Geography curriculum is built upon the principles of the Geography Association�s manifesto �A Different View�. Geography underpins a lifelong conversation about the earth as the home to humankind and therefore geography is essential for a balanced education for all young people.
Fieldwork and geographical enquiry are integral, allowing students to apply their learning in real-world contexts and develop conceptual understanding through hands-on experiences. At A level (AQA) we visit Cranedale Field Studies centre for 3 days to conduct a range of both physical and human fieldwork. Through the study of Geography students are encouraged to consider how the world and its many interconnections shape our environments; this will be done through 4 key principles: Geographical skills-select adapt and use a variety of skills and techniques to support interpretation and analysis of information,Human and Physical interactions � to allow interpretation and evaluation, Scale � local, national, global, Interpretation and analysis of Space and Place We aim to provide a supportive atmosphere that is both enjoyable yet challenging. Where students are inspired to live their lives as knowledgeable citizens; aware of their local communities while also becoming responsible global citizens.
