Geography has always had massive importance in the education of young people. Gaining knowledge of the world and understanding why differences occur within it is integral to a healthy and open mind. In the modern world; global warming, the destruction of the rainforests and global inequality, to name only a few, are issues that require understanding from the future generations.

It is for these reasons that the Geography department at Trinity academy, through Key Stage 3, GCSE, AS and A2 levels, aim to provide students with this opportunity. The department consists of 3 young, enthusiastic staff housed in their own well resourced classrooms, making the future look enormously exciting.
