OVERVIEW OF KS3
Aim of the Course:
The Geography Syllabus aims to encourage pupils to develop a sense of place and understanding of the
relative locations on a local, regional and global scale. Pupils recognise that there are different views about
geographical issues and describe two main viewpoints relating to an issue they have studied. They learn to
understand some of the processes which will give some insight into the ways in which people interact with each
other and with their environment. Pupils also appreciate constraints, opportunities and contrasts presented
by different environments.
