Geography

Geography is a dynamic and ever changing subject. The world around us is becoming increasingly interconnected and geographical topics are always at the forefront of our minds. From Climate Change to Natural Hazards, Geography is constantly in the news. At Lawn Manor we strive to ensure every pupil is given every opportunity to realise their potential. We provide a broad and varied curriculum that covers all aspects of Geography. The Geography department is a vibrant and active learning community where pupils will be offered the chance to take part in field work, both on and off school site. We aim to help pupils evolve into independent learners who have a thirst for knowledge.

Our aims

  • To excite pupils to take Geography further at college and university
  • To engage everyone with their surroundings and the environment.
  • To ensure all pupils develop a dynamic skill set which will benefit them in their later life.
  • To excite pupils both within the class and through field-trips, locally and abroad.
  • To encourage pupils to enthusiastically explore and question the world around them.
  • To encourage every pupil to fulfil or exceed their potential in a supportive environment.

The Geography department is very well resourced, with excellent ICT access (including iPads), textbooks and innovative teaching resources for all.

Key Stage 3

At Key Stage 3, Geography at Lawn Manor Academy covers all aspects of the National Curriculum and explores links between the physical and human world in which we live. The team works hard to ensure lessons are engaging, challenging current and relevant to our pupils. We aim to promote curious and inspired minds. As part of being an independent learner, the team encourages the pupils to get involved in project work through home learning projects. We want the pupils to begin to develop an understanding of both where they live and the Wider world.

Topics studied at KS3 will help pupils to build a knowledge base that will allow them to be fully prepared for their journey into GCSE Geography. Within KS3 pupils will be assessed and questioned in ways that will encourage deeper thinking.

In Year 7

Our topics include:

  • UK in the Wider World
  • Global Biomes
  • Africa
  • Climate Change
  • Middle East – Masdar City

In Year 8

Our topics include:

  • Global Fashion
  • Water on the Land
  • The Geography of Crime
  • Changing Britain
  • Global Footprint

In Year 9

Our topics include:

  • Natural Hazards
  • Costal Processes
  • Managing Resources
  • An Insight into Asia

Key Stage 4

At GCSE, the Geography department uses AQA GCSE specification A. The units taught build on existing Key Stage 3 learning whilst also introducing new geographical knowledge, understanding and skills. The topics studied are Natural Hazards; Living World; Physical Landscape; Urban Issues and Challenges; Changing Economic World; Challenge of Resource Management; Skills and an Evaluation section based on Fieldwork.
