Geography

Course summary

The A‐level course aims to allow students to engage with the relationship of human populations to each other over space and time and their relationship with their physical environment at a variety of scales. It allows opportunities for students to consider: • their roles, values and attitudes in relation to themes and issues being studied • the roles, values and attitudes of others, including decision‐makers. A variety of teaching and learning styles are used, including online materials, mulƟmedia, teacher‐led, class‐led, discussion, individual research, analysis of data as a class, study of past examination papers. Each set is usually taught by three geography teachers specialising in specific topics. There is a requirement to undertake 4 days of fieldwork throughout the course, which may be all or partly residential and will incur an additional cost. This is to allow the students to prepare for the geographical investigation component.
