In Years 7-9, all pupils study the following subjects: English Mathematics Biology, chemistry and physics studied as separate sciences Geography, history and religious studies Art & design, design technology, drama, food & nutrition, IT and music Physical education and games French and Spanish are available to overseas students with prior experience of these languages. In Year 9, pupils learn some of the key human and physical processes in order to understand the modern world. Indeed, there is time set aside during the year to analyse the geography that is appearing in the news at any particular time. Pupils start off the year with a detailed study of the geography of conflict. The focus is the Middle East and the issues include the Arab Spring, oil, ethnic diversity, drought and climate change. The pupils use Google Earth to construct their own virtual tour of the region. In the Spring Term, the pupils learn about the weather, something they will probably discuss most days for the rest of their lives! Having learnt about air masses, depressions and high pressure systems, the pupils investigate the data recorded by the school’s automated weather station. Pupils complete their own enquiry and interrogate an extensive set of data to aid their investigation. Some of the pupils will be given the opportunity to visit the Met Office in Exeter. After Easter, the pupils will begin to study material that will be required for their GCSE exams in Year 11. The Summer Term is devoted to the causes and likely effects of global warming as well as the possible strategies to respond to the resultant problems. The local issues surrounding wind turbines in North Devon are analysed and in a GCSE style decision making exercise.
