This course offers the perfect environment for students to develop an awareness of the patterns, processes and relationships that characterise the physical and human environment. We look at a wide range of topics including Coastal Landscapes, The Nature of Changing Places, Global Migration, Disease Dilemmas, Life Support Systems, The Idea of Power and Sovereignty and Our Hazardous Earth. Geography is traditionally seen as a bridge between the Sciences and the Arts and is an excellent choice for students who want to keep their options open. It is considered a facilitating subject by the Russell Group of Universities.
• Entry to the Sixth Form is based on meeting the standard entry requirements. These include the passing of Maths and English Language at a grade 4. • In addition to this we use a calculation called Attainment 8 to work out a score for students to indicate their suitability for each pathway. This score is generated by combining a students’ best 8 subject grades, counting English and Maths twice and including a minimum of three Ebacc subjects; Biology, Chemistry, Physics, Core & Additional Science, Computer Science, History, Geography, French, Spanish and German. For Waingels students this score will be included in any reports home. • A Level Pathway (selecting only A Levels): 50 ( Average Grade 5) • A grade 6 in Geography plus a grade 5 in both Maths and English Language or Literature at GCSE.
