Geography is a key part of the curriculum taught in St. Colm’s High School through all key stages. It is consistently one of the most popular subject choices for both GCSE and A Level. Through the study of Geography students have the opportunity to study the earth’s landscapes, peoples, places and environments – both its physical features and its political and cultural characteristics. In Geography students learn about important contemporary issues like global warming, desertification, deforestation, loss of biodiversity, groundwater pollution and flooding. We also aim to enable students to critically assess the merits of different approaches to reduce global poverty and inequality and to encourage students to take action for a fair and sustainable world.
