The Geography Department is a highly successful department within Littleover Community School. All students study Geography at Key Stage 3, and the subject is a popular options choice at both GCSE and A Level.
We offer a knowledge rich Geography curriculum at LCS that allows students to become informed global citizens. Studying Geography is vital for understanding the relationships between human societies and the natural environment. With the current climate crisis studying Geography is essential in understanding the world and the challenges it faces.
Employment opportunities in the future will be linked to the key topics studied in Geography such as green energy and sustainable living.
Additionally, with increasing globalisation it has never been more important to understand different cultures, economies and traditions. During Key Stage 3 students will start local learning about their own ‘place’, we will equip them with the vital map, fieldwork and analytical skills which they will use throughout their geography studies. We ensure students understand key geomorphic and tectonic processes and how they shape the landscapes around us.
Students also explore how humans interact with the planet, how places help shape cultural identity, and why empathy and respect for both people and the environment are so important.
