At The Polesworth School we have a dedicated team of teachers who are passionate about teaching Geography and work hard to enthuse our students about our dynamic and ever-changing subject. 

   Throughout Year 7 to 13 we study current issues that affect both the human and physical world around us. During all key stages, students gain a detailed understanding of how people and the environment interact through studying exciting and relevant topics such as Plate Tectonics, Population Issues, Settlement, Development, Natural Hazards, Coasts and Rivers among numerous country studies.

   Fieldwork is a vital part of our curriculum. We take students on regular field trips to enable students to engage in the world around them and bring their class work alive.  We also use the school grounds as much as possible to practice data collection techniques.  Previous fieldtrip locations have included Conkers for team building and map skills, Birmingham to study regeneration and environmental quality, fieldtrips to Rivers to study how they change along their long profile and A-level residential trips to the Lake District.
