Geography

Geography is the study of space and place, recognising the great differences in cultures, economies, landscapes and environments across the world, and exploring the links between them. The subject of Geography occupies a distinctive place in the world of learning for students at all key stages, highlighting the complex relationship between people, places and the environment.

Geography at Ashington Academy is an immersive experience, exposing students to a wide range of fascinating topics ranging from the fragility of the earth’s landscape to the growing trends of urbanisation around the world. The Geography Department’s goal is to start students on a journey of discovery of the world around us, equipping them with a wide range of transferrable skills, alongside the academic qualifications they will gain.

Studying Geography at Ashington Academy helps students to be more socially and environmentally sensitive, better informed, and more responsible as citizens and students. From the classroom, students will go on a voyage of discovery through continents, countries and cities, gaining a greater awareness of the captivating world around us.

I really enjoy Geography as it teaches us about the world we live in. It is an interesting subject because what we study happens in the real world.
