Course summary

“Geography students hold the key to the world’s problems.” (Michael Palin) Geography is the dynamic study of current and globally important issues. It will open your eyes to the world around you, enrich your life and encourage you to go on a journey. Geography will teach you many transferable skills, including writing a 4000 word report based on fieldwork carried out during our residential trip to Snowdonia National Park.

Entry requirements

Offers of places are made by the Headmaster and are usually conditional upon the candidate achieving at least 6 subjects at GCSE at Grade 6 or above. Candidates must obtain a GCSE Grade 6 or above in English Language and Mathematics. Candidates will normally be expected to have achieved at least a Grade 7 in the subjects they wish to study at A-Level, and the offer of a place is made subject to the School’s judgement of a candidate’s ability to benefit from the education offered in the Sixth Form. Grade 6 at GCSE desirable – without this, pupils should be prepared to do some work in the summer before Year 12 so they have a thorough understanding of the GCSE course content. An interest in - and curiosity about - the world around them, both the physical and human landscapes, is essential, as is a willingness to read widely around the topics we study.
