Geography is the study of the inter-relationships between people, societies and their environment and how these relationships change over time. Geography helps us to understand and explain the complex world we live in. Never before has the study of geography been more important and one could say that Geography has ‘finally come of age’. Geography is unique in bridging the gap between the arts and sciences and allows us to study the ever-increasing impact of humans on the physical environment. Geography gives us the knowledge and understanding of current local, national and global issues, such as climate change, natural hazards, resource management and the energy gap, world trade and globalisation, development and disparity, as well as the consequences of rapid population increase and industrialisation. Every day you will find several articles in the broadsheet newspapers that relate directly to our teaching syllabus. Geography is a relevant and important subject and also equips the pupils with valuable skills that are attractive to future employers.

The staff in the Geography Department are passionate about their subject and hope to pass on their enthusiasm, knowledge and skills to the girls through modern, lively and dynamic teaching methods. We aim to stimulate their interest and curiosity in their world and enable them to debate and discuss these important issues that will increasingly affect all of our lives. We strive to make the pupils at KEHS autonomous learners and informed world citizens.
