Across the country the numbers of students opting to take geography is falling. Harlington Upper School is bucking the trend. Two thirds of their students choose to study geography at GCSE and they have a thriving 'A' Level course.
This programme investigates how they successfully raised the status of the subject within the school. It also looks at the strategies that the department used in order to make geography a popular subject, from school trips to friendly and approachable staff.
Part of their approach is to encourage Sixth Form students to give up their study period to help younger students with their work. Another strength lies in seeing beyond academic qualifications and encouraging less able students to take an entry level qualification.

Traditionally, geography is studied as two interconnected parts: physical geography and human geography. For the first half of this series, we will be focusing on physical geography, which is all about recognizing the characteristics of the environment and the processes that create, modify, and destroy those environments. But remember, human-environment interactions are fundamental to studying geography so we won't be ignoring human impact, it just won't be the primary lens we're using to view the world. Today, we'll explore erosional gullies in Madagascar as we discuss the world's dynamic landscape, the Great Barrier Reef as we introduce the four major earth system (the atmosphere, hydrosphere, lithosphere, and biosphere), and we'll finish with a deep dive into Iceland as we introduce the major realms of physical geography. (These are geographer specializations that you may have heard about like topography, geomorphology, pedology, hydrology, climatology, oceanography, meteorology, and biogeography.)

"Modern methods of studying geography encourages the development of enquiry skills. The lesson explored in this programme offers children an immediate chance to develop these as well as giving them the opportunity to vividly use their imaginations.
Debbie King, a Key Stage 1 teacher at Horwood & Newton Tracey Primary School in north Devon is shown teaching a unit of work for KS1 geography called 'At the Seaside'. It can be taught across one day or over a period of weeks.
Debbie evaluates the unit with David Weatherley, Devon Curriculum Services Geography Advisor and Alison Alldridge, Geography Coordinator at the school.
The lesson features enquiry, imagination, and evaluation of images of the seaside. Geography is then combined with literacy as the children fit words to the pictures and write postcards using geographic vocabulary."

"Two teachers at Dowdales School in Cumbria have adopted a unique way of teaching the relatively new concept of Sustainable Development. Geography teacher Matt Barton and citizenship teacher Martin Ellison work together to bring sustainable development into both their lessons.
Using the Chocolate Game, they involve the students in exploring the perspectives of different families & communities involved in the cocoa industry and how buying a bar of chocolate can affect so many lives.
Will this change the students' thinking when buying a snack? Will they consider buying Fair Trade products? Do they realise that it is their generation who will be directly affected if Sustainable Development is not tackled?"
