Welcome to the Falmouth School Geography Team, where our mission is to nurture students into successful global citizens with a profound understanding of the dynamic field of Geography. We strive to cultivate an appreciation for the ever-evolving nature of Geography as an academic discipline, preparing students to navigate and contribute to the complexities of the world.
The intent of our curriculum is to enhance students' knowledge of the world and broaden their horizons. We aim to foster inquisitive students and enhance their cultural capital through the study of people and places across the world. Geography encourages students to have a global outlook, using Cornwall and the local Geography to model physical and human processes, before looking outwards to places such as China, The Middle East, The Sahel.
In our classrooms, Geography transcends traditional boundaries, providing students with new ways of thinking through key concepts such as Physical Geography, Human Geography, Location and place knowledge. Geography has an enquiry based curriculum to develop independent skills, teamwork as well as verbal and written communication abilities, that are transferable to other subjects, further study and employment. We aim to equip students with the knowledge and skills to be successful global citizens. We want our students to appreciate the ever-evolving nature of geography as an academic discipline.
At Falmouth School, we aim to equip students with the skills, aptitude, and expertise to be dynamic, sustainable geographers. We guide them through a learning journey that makes sense of diverse topics, from development and trade to urbanisation, the physical landforms of the UK, plate tectonics, and the intricate living world.
At Falmouth School we go beyond maps and coordinates to inspire a passion for exploration, critical thinking, and a deep understanding of the interconnected world we inhabit. Together, we embark on a journey of discovery, preparing students for a future where they can contribute meaningfully as informed and responsible global citizens.
