Geography at A level is very broad. It will suit students interested in Science, Maths, Sociology, Politics and those with a love for the outdoors and the environment. From the BBC’s Simon Reeve, “Geography is the way ahead – the story of us and our planet.” Year 12 focuses on Changing Places, Making Spaces, Power and Borders, Migration, Earth's Life Support Systems and Coasts. Students get to explore and apply their learning through various field trips. Starting with looking at a very new idea of why places develop, where we visit Sheffield in the autumn term of Year 12 to explore various parts to understand how the identity and character of the city has changed through time. Throughout the year students will be involved in visiting local areas to apply their learning on water and carbon cycles, as well as refining their data collection skills in preparation for their NEA.
• We have a minimum entry requirement of grade 4 in both Maths and English Language. Additional subject entry requirements for each subject are listed below. There may be some flexibility around these. • English can be either Literature or Language unless specifically stated. • At least a grade 6 in GCSE Geography and grade 5 in Maths and English
Our second field trip in the summer of Year 12 is for you to collect the data for your independent investigation, where you get to choose the topic and title you focus on. This makes up 20% of your A level, the remaining 80% is split between three exams at the end of Year 13.
