Humanities status awarded to Cromwell

Geography is very proud to be one of the subjects associated with our Specialist Status bid for Humanities. We found out in late July that we have been successful and will begin receiving the recognition and funding that Specialist Status brings in the Autumn. This is excellent news for Cromwell and the wider community of Chatteris and Fenland.

File sharing suspended

Apologies to anyone who has been attempting to download information from our 4shared site as advertised in the links on the right of this page. This includes all files shared for GCSE, visiting teachers, and A level students. This is because 4shared.com wipe their users accounts if we do not log in at least every month. Unfortunately owing to the summer holidays our work has disappeared. We hope that it will be possible to reinstate some of this information before long.

In the meantime, well done to our A level students who got some cracking results - nothing below a D in both AS and A2. My thanks to Dr Peryer and Miss Harris for their hard work, and of course the students who did so well. Congratulations to you all!

As most of you know, I've left Cromwell for a sunnier climate. Best wishes to everyone for the future.

Please fill in the survey - but be quick, as there is a maximum of 100 respondents per survey! PS Your identity remains totally private - we do not see who you are or ask for any personal information.

Comments? Tell 9a1 - it's their survey!

About Geography at Cromwell

At Cromwell, Geography is taught to every year group. In Years 7, 8 and 9 it is compulsory for all students. At GCSE, approximately 1/3rd of a typical year group will opt to continue studying with us, and we are one of the founding subjects of the brand new sixth form in Years 12 and 13.

There are several exciting developments in Geography at the moment:

  • We are one of the subjects (along with English and RE) selected to be part of the Specialist Status bid that will bring better learning opportunities to all students in Cromwell
  • All Geography classes are taught in the brand new, purpose built Humanities block
  • Geography has two of the school's interactive whiteboards
  • Our GCSE and AS level results have made us proud for yet another year - 77.7% of our GCSE intake achieved A*-C in 2006

We hope you will continue to visit this page to get more information as the blog develops.
