We follow the AQA specification. It is a linear course, which means you will take all your exams for Geography at the end of Year 13. The course also includes a 20% non-examined assessment (NEA) – a personal investigation based on primary data. The course is divided into 3 parts: • Paper 1 – Physical Geography – Water and Carbon Cycles, Hazards, Coastal Landscapes and Processes (40%) • Paper 2 – Human Geography – Changing Places, Global Governance and Global Systems and Contemporary Urban Environments (40%) • Paper 3 – Geographical Fieldwork Investigation (NEA), based on primary data collection (20%)
