Geography — Albany Academy

Geography

‘You can travel the seas, poles and deserts and see nothing. To really understand the world, you need to get under the skin of the people and places. In other words, learn about geography’

At Key stage 3, students learn about local geography, other countries, and the creative power of physical geographical events.

Students can continue to study geography at GCSE.

Geography is taught for 4 hours per fortnight in Year 7, and 3 hours per fortnight in Year 8 and Year 9. It is taught for 3 hours per week at GCSE.

We study Pearson GCSE A.

Our geography curriculum plan gives an overview of topics taught from years 7 to 11.
