Geography... we would be lost without it!

The Geography department works with pupils on their relationships with the environment, and the people and places that make up these environments. Working with pupils to increase their interest in, and understanding of, decisions made about their environments on a local and global scale. As well as increasing pupils awareness of their responsibility for and the sustainability of their own and others actions in these environments

Geography is taught at PHS in order to:-

• develop an understanding of the environment from a local to global scale
• engender an enquiring attitude in pupils
• foster an acceptable work ethic among pupils
• encourage the use of available technology
• help pupils act in an informed and responsible way

Geography is a very special subject because it offers a unique combination of skills. Any trained geographer is expected to be able to interpret maps, photographs, tables and graphs. They can evaluate arguments, problem solve and make decisions. Geographers are used to writing extended pieces of work and gathering raw data through observation in a practical environment.

The Geography Department in PHS has two teaching classrooms M25 and M27, plus one shared tutorial room, one store room, equipment and computers.

We are located in the upper floor of the new millennium wing with a southerly aspect.
