Geography

Welcome to the Geography Department

Geography.....we would be lost without it!

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.

Why should I choose Geography?
