Upon leaving Simon Balle at the end of their school careers, our students will have a good knowledge of both human and physical geography. They will understand environmental issues and will be sensitive to their surroundings, be they man-made or natural. Simon Balle geographers will be able to solve problems, plan investigations and collect both primary and secondary data. They will be skilled in the handling of spatial, visual and numerical data, and be able to communicate ideas coherently using appropriate presentation techniques. They will be able to work independently to complete tasks as well as being able to function effectively as members of a team. They will use a range of traditional and digital technologies and techniques to complete their studies. These skills will enable them to be confident in a range of situations and ensure that they flourish in our fast-changing world.
This website provides information for students and parents about the courses that we teach: some links require a Simon Balle log-in to access the material.
