Geography
Geography cultivates in students an aspirational spirit to understand and explore the living, dynamic world they inhabit. By exploring the past, illuminating the present, and preparing for the future, geography instills in students a strong sense of global responsibility as they learn to consider various perspectives and the intricacies of the interconnected world. Through a comprehensive curriculum, encompassing both physical and human geography, students develop an independent and insightful understanding of how humans and the environment interact and influence each other. In this way, geography empowers students to become confident and resilient citizens of the world, driven by a deep respect for our planet and all its inhabitants.Â
Geography will provide Royal Liberty students with a broad understanding of the world, critical thinking skills, an appreciation of diversity and an understanding of environmental sustainability. These skills will be invaluable to students as they embark on their future careers and make their way in the world.

Regular opportunities for reflection and adequate guidance are provided to reinforce learning.
