Geography is an exciting and interesting course that spans the arts/science barrier, with direct relevance to everyday events. Pupils will be given the opportunity to develop fieldwork skills and study geographical issues and impacts. During the course, the aim is to develop pupils’ abilities to collect, interpret and analyse information. Pupils will also learn to communicate their findings in a variety of ways through class discussion, essays and a fieldwork investigation. By developing the links between different parts of the subject, pupils will learn to appreciate the importance of understanding our physical environment and the need to manage it carefully.
The minimum requirement is a grade 6 in GCSE geography. It is possible to study A level geography without having studied the subject at GCSE but any pupil attempting this must be prepared to put in extra work and background reading.
