Geography

Students at Carnforth High School who study GCSE Geography will study a range of topics which look at the natural world and how it works, and the human interactions with this natural world. They will develop an understanding of key social, environmental and economic issues including development, the economic changes in the UK, poverty, resources, the major ecosystems in the world and natural hazards that impact human development.

Throughout the course our students will develop the ability to be critical thinkers, asking questions about their role in the world and how humans’ impact on the world in which we live. They will develop the skills to analyse and interpret information available to them and discuss, assess and evaluate with a high degree of advanced thinking.
