The A Level specification covers a diverse range of ‘physical’ and ‘human’ topics. Physical Geography: Preparation for the Physical Geography paper will include the study of ‘Water and Carbon Cycles’, ‘Coastal. Systems and Landscapes’ and ‘Hazards’: The study of hazards covers case studies of volcanic eruptions, earthquakes, tsunamis and storm events and focuses upon evaluating the success of attempts by humans to mitigate against the impacts of the hazards. Human Geography: Human Geography topics will include ‘Global Systems and Global Governance’, ‘Changing Places’ and ‘Contemporary Urban Environments’.
Academic ability is assessed at age 16 by means of GCSE results, an interview and references from the applicant’s secondary schools. The main entry to the Sixth Form is at age 16, following on from GCSE studies. Entry may be available at other times but is subject to places being available and a student meeting the relevant entry criteria for their chosen subjects. Entry Criteria: A minimum of six GCSE passes (grade 6 or above). A minimum of grade 7 at GCSE in subjects that a student wishes to study at A level. A grade 6 may be considered if the applicant has shown a particular commitment and aptitude to succeed in the subject area. In the case of subjects which have not been taken at GCSE, other relevant subjects will be taken into account.
Each of these two sections will be examined by a written paper of 2 hours 30 minutes duration, which will include a variety of question styles including both short answers and extended prose.
