Geography Quality Marks
The Geography Quality Marks are prestigious awards that recognise and promote quality and progress in geography leadership, curriculum development and learning and teaching in schools. They are awarded annually by the Geographical Association.
The Geography Department at AVA are extremely proud to be one of the schools recognised as offering high standards of learning and extra-curricular opportunities in Geography in 2024.
Particular strengths of our school, as highlighted by The GA include:
"Your curriculum design certainly does provide opportunities for your students to gain the important geographical knowledge, understanding and skills needed to equip them to be successful 21st century citizens and support their personal development. "
"There is a sharp vision for geography and its place in the wider curriculum."
We are excited to continue our work with The Geographical Association to further develop, particularly as our department now expands to include A Level Geography.
