We aim to foster within our students an acute awareness of their roles as global citizens and a lifelong love of learning about the world around us. During the two year course there is equal emphasis given to Physical Geography, Human Geography and Geographical Skills. In the Physical Geography lessons, we study topics such as the impact of people on the water and carbon cycles, and human strategies to mitigate human hazards. In Human Geography, we look at how and why cities grow and change, and the ideas of global governance in places such as Antarctica. We encourage our students to subjectively interrogate data and present their findings in a scientific, yet accessible manner. The skills we aim to develop will support independent learning, self-confidence and a diverse range of employment opportunities in the future.
Our admission requirement is a minimum of five GCSEs graded 4 and above, including English and Mathematics. In addition, students will normally be expected to obtain a grade of 6 or higher in their chosen subjects. The option of taking a subject at A Level without a GCSE or equivalent level qualification can be discussed on an individual basis.
Each student is required to complete a unique research project which contributes up to 20% of their final A-level mark.
