We believe that Geography makes a major contribution to the physical, intellectual, social and emotional development of everyone. It helps to develop knowledge and understanding of currents events from all over the world and stimulates an interest in the wonder of the world around us. It gives young people the desire to explore. Geography provides a meaningful context for developing transferable skills eg literacy, numeracy, problem solving, team work, thinking skills and enquiry. It prepares them for the world of work; geographers with their skills of analysis and synthesis are highly employable.
