Geography

Course summary

Edexcel is our chosen examination board for Geography. The first examination took place in the Summer of 2018. The specification aims to enable students to engage critically with real-world issues and places and apply their own geographical knowledge, understanding and skills to make sense of the world around them and be able to apply geography to all aspects of their life, whatever they choose to do in the longer term. It offers an issues-based approach to studying geography, enabling students to explore and evaluate contemporary geographical questions and issues such as the consequences of globalisation, responses to hazards, water insecurity and climate change. The content gives students the opportunity to develop an in-depth understanding of physical and human geography, of the complexity of people and their relationship to the environment and to become critical, reflective and independent learners.
