Geography : homeGeographyGeography is one of the largest departments in the school. All students in Year 8-10 study geography, following a 3-year course that takes them through the basics of this varied subject. Following thsi introduction to the subject nearly half of our students continue the subject to GCSE, and around 60 students stugy Geography at AS and A Level. Many of these students leave Campbell College to continue the study of Geography or a related subject at University level. We study CCEA Geography at GCSE and A Level in order to best use our students' knowledge and to develop their knowledge and understanding of local issues. AimsThe study of Geography aims to build a broad, coherent, satisfying and worthwhile knowledge of the World around us and to help students to learn to make informed decisions about their role in it. It also aims to teach students to be critical thinkers with enquiring minds and to become effective and independent learners. The Geography department aims to develop in each boy:
