Key Documents

Our GCSE Geography specification adopts an enquiry approach to the study of geographical information, issues and concepts.

It is based on the principle that geographical education should enable learners to become critical and reflective thinkers by engaging them actively in the enquiry process. Content is organised around key questions and learners should be encouraged to pose geographical questions of their own.
