Here we study the physical processes of the earth and how it alters our natural environment. Topics:

• Coasts 

• Glaciation 

• Weather

You’ll learn how features, such as sea stacks and aretes form, along with looking at human interactions on these landscapes. Learn about the weather we experience in the UK and how it affects our lives.

Learn about societies across the world and how they continue to change. Topics include:

• Rural

• Urban

• Population

Farming is essential to life, learn how it differs across the world from the UK to India. Cities develop and change over time, learn about life in the Dharavi slum and how Glasgow slums are now part of history. As populations explode in developing countries, they’re shrinking in some developed nations, find out why! 

We are all global citizenizens. Uncover the issues affecting mankind and our future from a global perspective. Topics covered are:

• Climate Change

• Health

We are in a climate emergency, learn what's causing it and what can be done to minimise its effects. As developed countries become wealthier we are dying from heart disease. Meanwhile, people in developing countries continue to battle AIDS and Malaria. Learn what causes these diseases and how we can combat their effects.

Here we will investigate ecosystems and biodiversity. We will look at interdependence between natures plants and animals. Finally we will look deeper at human influences on biodiversity. 

In this section we will also carry out best practice for fieldwork enquiries. 

The earth provides use everything we need to survive. In this section we will look at plate tectonics and how they create deposits of certain minerals. 

We also also discover how earth’s largest systems work. This includes circulation in oceans and atmosphere. This is the section where we also look into our changing climate. 

In this section we will study changing global demands for food, water and energy. We will look into our food production chains and how we deal with waste. Alternative energy sources, such as nuclear and hydrogen will also be examined in more detail.

Feeling up for a challenge? This year, for the first time, we are offering entry to a 2 year course with 2 subjects. In the first year you will get a National 5 in both subjects and in the following year Highers in both subjects! You will have 7 periods of this class a week to allow this to happen! Come and enjoy the blended teaching of Geography and Environmental Science.

In Geography you will learn about how the physical landscape around us is created and how we interact with it, about human life on earth - how population growth and technological advancement is changing societies around the world, but at different rates. You will discover wider global issues linked to the spread of diseases and climate change  that will impact lives now and in the future.  

In Environmental Science you will look at how the world works and our impact upon it. We will delve into living environments, have a look at the resources earth has to offer and how we can live sustainably on the planet!  

As you proceed, you will build on your knowledge from year 1 and take a more in depth look at those topics. New elements of study include soils, rivers, land degradation and transport to name a few. 

In Environmental Sciences you will continue to learn about how the earth works and how humans interact with it but in more detail with new exciting case studies.

Pupils will undertake research into a current geographical issue, critically evaluating different viewpoints and reaching a conclusion. 

Pupils will undertake a research project, gathering primary data in the field and analysing that data to reach a conclusion  - residential trip to Isle of Skye.

Pupils will study a range of gathering and processing techniques to allow them to conduct their study, pupils will work on advanced mapping techniques, choosing and evaluating appropriate sites for developments and learn a range of statistical techniques.
