Secondary Phase
The geography curriculum at Trinity shares the vision of the National curriculum . The geography department aims to produce “A high-quality geography education that inspires in pupils a curiosity and fascination about the world and its people that will remain with them for the rest of their lives. Our teaching equips pupils with knowledge about diverse places, people, resources and natural and human environments, together with a deep understanding of the Earth’s key physical and human processes. As pupils progress, their growing knowledge about the world will help them to deepen their understanding of the interaction between physical and human processes, and of the formation and use of landscapes and environments. Geographical knowledge, understanding and skills provide the framework and approaches that explain how the Earth’s features at different scales are shaped, interconnected and change over time.”
At GSCE we follow the Edexcel B specification.
Fieldtrip opportunities include:- Micro-climate studies around the school site, local area studies, coastal studies in Brighton and the Kent coast, urban studies around Lewisham and Stratford and opportunities for residential stays.
