Geography is a dynamic, highly relevant and adaptive subject that will have students gripped from day one. A level students learn to debate about Natural Hazards and Disease Dilemmas, whilst also studying the fundamentals of both Human and Physical Geographies, allowing them to acquire a broad subject knowledge that is relevant to any citizen of the world in the 21st century. Through the study of dynamic and contemporary case studies, learners can understand and interact with issues which affect people and places at a range of scales from local to global and all that is in-between.
To provide a solid foundation for A level study, we recommend that students achieve at least a Grade 6 at GCSE in any subject with which they wish to continue. In some subjects, a Grade 7 may be more suitable to facilitate positive outcomes at A level, and the Sixth Form team will be happy to provide tailored advice on this matter.
Landscape Systems (22%) Students will explore landscapes as systems; how landforms developed and the influences of both climate and human activity on them. Changing Spaces: Making Places and Human Interactions (22%) Students will explore the relationships and connections between people, the economy and society and how these contribute to creating places. Placemaking projects are also explored, considering the meanings and representations created and attached to places. Geographical Debates (36%) Optionality Students will study two of the five geographical debates listed below. Geographical skills will be taught and examined through each topic. Climate Change, Future of Food, Disease Dilemmas, Hazardous Earth, Exploring Oceans One non-examined assessment (N.E.A) (20%). Students will participate in a three-day residential fieldwork during Year 12, typically to Devon or South Wales, which will aid learning in both human and physical geography whilst also developing fieldwork skills. In Year 13, students will complete a study into a geographical area of their choice. This may focus on a topic that the learner finds particularly interesting or a topic with geographical links that they would like to pursue at degree level.
