Geography

Geography is a vibrant and popular subject in St Louis Grammar School, consistently achieving excellent results and attracting high levels of student engagement. As a department, we are passionate about helping pupils understand the dynamic world around them—its landscapes, environments, and the complex interactions between people and places.

At Key Stage 3, students explore a wide range of topics including map skills, weather and climate, global development, and environmental challenges. These foundational years are designed to spark curiosity and build essential geographical skills.

At GCSE level, pupils follow the CCEA specification, delving deeper into physical and human geography. Topics include rivers, coasts, population, urban environments, and sustainable development. Fieldwork is an integral part of the course, allowing students to apply their learning in real-world contexts.

At A Level, students continue with the CCEA specification, engaging with advanced geographical concepts such as Eco Systems, Coasts & Tourism. Independent research and fieldwork further develop analytical and evaluative skills, preparing students for higher education and beyond.

Geography at St Louis is not only academically successful but also encourages global citizenship, critical thinking, and a lifelong appreciation of the world we live in.
