Geography

"The study of geography is about more than just memorising places on a map. It's about understanding the complexity of our world, appreciating the diversity of cultures that exist across continents. And in the end, it's about using all that knowledge to help bridge divides and bring people together.”  - Barack Obama

 

Geography is...

A subject which gives pupils an understanding of the great diversity of people and places that make up our world. Through learning about their local, national and international communities, pupils become more responsible citizens and more aware of their role in the future of our planet.

'It was an absolute pleasure walking into lessons and seeing the positive relationships between teachers and students.'

Visitor

'I often see your pupils in the morning when I'm taking my own kids to school and I'm really impressed with how polite, friendly and courteous they are. They are a real credit to themselves and your school.'

Member of the public

‘Springwest has created a culture where all students have a sense of belonging. Pupils have high expectations of themselves in terms of what they believe they can achieve in life beyond Springwest Academy. Behaviour was exceptional. Pupils clearly feel safe and accepted, especially those with Special Educational Needs and Disabilities.'

Visiting Headteacher

'Students are complimentary about school life, behaviour and safety. They are confident that they are supported through a range of interventions and the consistent availability of staff including tutors, pastoral mentors and heads of year.'
