Personal Investigative Study
A variety of teaching and learning styles is employed in order to deliver the curriculum effectively.  We try to incorporate relevant fieldwork experience wherever possible and to highlight the important links between Geography and other subjects e.g. in Year 7 a joint project on local meteorology is run in conjunction with the ICT Department.

Fieldwork forms an important part of any Geography course and we carry out geographical investigations whenever possible.

Geography is a popular subject at Central High and girls who study Geography right through to A Level go on to enjoy many different careers.  Geography touches on and affects all our lives and for this reason alone, it is a very powerful and diverse subject.
