The Geography Department at Belmont House School aims to provide a welcoming, friendly and purposeful teaching environment where every pupil is valued and given ample opportunity to contribute and fulfil their potential.
Throughout the Senior School, the department aims to develop pupils' understanding and appreciation of physical and human Geography coupled with environmental interactions that form the basis of our ever-changing planet.
Opportunities to enhance learning are supplied through fieldwork and cross-curricular skills such as literacy; numeracy; science; ICT; problem-solving; teamwork and enquiry skills. It is our belief that through studying Geography pupils will become:
- confident learners who can learn independently, communicate effectively and respect different countries and cultures
- successful learners who are motivated and are able to investigate, challenge, debate and enjoy discovering places
- effective contributors who exhibit enterprising attitudes and can problem-solve, work collaboratively and cooperate with others successfully
- responsible citizens through examining economic, social, cultural and political issues.
