Geography enables us to grasp the complexities of our planet and makes the complex comprehensible. It forces us to look forward into the future but at the same time makes us realise that we often need to understand and learn from the past and the present. The challenge for the geographers of today is to distil and make sense of all the data available so that we can make the best decisions for our planet going into the future.
Open to 16 to 18-year-olds, our entry requirements depend on whether your child is a UK ir international applicant. Prospective students will be invited to an interview with our Sixth Form Leadership Team.
There are two written exams. Paper 1 (2 hours 30 minutes) Physical Geography 120 marks (40%) Paper 2 (2 hours 30 minutes) Human Geography 120 marks (40%) Component 3 – Geographical Investigation (20%)- fieldwork / coursework Fieldtrips are an integral part of any Geography A level course. We have residential field trips in both the Lower and Upper Sixth. The data collected on the second trip is used to write up a report for the individual piece of coursework (referred to as the NEA by the exam board). This is worth 20% of the final exam grade. Optional extra trips are arranged such as those in recent years to Iceland and Morocco.
