Welcome to the Geology Department

Geology is a science, which shares many other values from other sciences in the school. Geology concerns the study of the Earth, this can include
the Earth's origin, its recent and ancient past, its structure and its composition. Geology also involves so many other geosciences, it would be hard to break them all up, but some of the most popular include; Geophysics, Geochemistry, Palaentology, Vulcanology, Seismology, Environmental Geology, Economic Geology, Cartography.....the list could go on for much longer, yet all of the above geosciences and more are covered in the syllabus.

The exam results for geology are excellent annually. Geology is taught at two levels (GCSE at KS4 and AS/A2 level at KS5).

Geological issues are constantly in the public eye; the dwindling of fossil fuels, tragic natural disasters and new discoveries on the ocean floor, and many branches of Geology are now at the cutting edge of science and provide massive scope for employment.
