Geology, although often not a stand alone subject within schools, is covered across all the science disciplines – chemistry, physics and biology as well as in geography. 

At the Geological Society we can provide support to those schools wishing to understand more about Earth sciences and how to incorporate examples within the National Curriculum for England, Wales and Northern Ireland and the Scottish Curriculum for Excellence.
