The Team and Facilities:

We have a team of passionate and experienced geography specialists. Our teachers are dedicated to their professional development, regularly taking part in training workshops and working as examiners during the summer. Geography is a very popular subject at Wexham where we stimulate curiosity about the natural and human worlds, the places and people are from in the local area to distant countries.

KEY STAGE 3

Throughout Key Stage 3 we believe that it is important for students to develop and understanding of basic concepts of geography. We aim to deliver a curriculum that allows students to develop their geographical skills, knowledge and understanding. We focus on real people, places and issues for inspiration; encouraging students to take an active approach to learning about the world around them.

We believe that we should equip students with knowledge about diverse places, people, resources, and both natural and human environments to provide them with a broad understanding of the world.

Our KS3 curriculum focusses on topics that are relevant to the world today and in the future, such as climate change, marine and fluvial management and natural hazards. We also investigate aspects of economic geography and urbanisation rates around the world. As students’ progress at Wexham, their growing knowledge about the world helps them deepen their understanding of the interaction between physical/human processes. 

KEY STAGE 4

The combination of engaging subject content and a clear and manageable assessment structure makes GCSE Geography a thoroughly enjoyable experience.

Students studying geography will be able to:

• Study physical processes and how they produce diverse and dynamic landscapes over time
• Learn about the interdependence of physical environments and the interaction between people and the environment
• Receive balanced and manageable coverage of both Physical and Human Geography.
• Learn a variety of fieldwork skills in both a human and physical enquiry.

KEY STAGE 5

Geography A level at Wexham school builds on students’ experiences from GSCE. Students will study both physical and human geography as well as developing opportunities for independent research and investigation in an area of the student’s own choosing for the Individual Investigation, a Non-Examined Assessment (coursework).
