There has never been a better or more important time to study Geography. With growing interest in issues like climate change, migration, environmental degradation and social cohesion, Geography is one of the most relevant courses you will study. Our teachers draw on a rich variety of experiences to stimulate an interest in, and a sense of wonder about, places, and to help you make sense of our complex world. We explain how places and landscapes are formed, how people and their environment interact, and how a diverse range of economies, societies and environments are interconnected. For our Sixth Formers, we seek to engender: knowledge and understanding of the planet and its peoples; a lasting awareness of the complex and dynamic world around us; sensitivity, tolerance and empathy towards all others; and critical and independent thinking.
A grade 8 in GCSE Geography. Other desirable attributes include an inquiring mind; interest in the world, and people, places and environments; interest in practical fieldwork; ability to design an independent personal investigation and write fluently; understanding of complex inter-relationships in a synoptic context; and appreciation of current affairs at the local, national and global scale.
The course is comprised of three components: • Physical Geography – topics covered include water and carbon cycles, glacial systems and landscapes, and hazards. Assessment is via short answers and extended prose. The unit is worth 40% and assessed by exam. • Human Geography – topics covered include global systems and global governance, changing places, and resource security. Assessment is via short answers and extended prose. The unit is worth 40% and assessed by exam. • Geographical Investigation – you will carry out an individual investigation based on a question or issue defined and developed by you with teacher support. Your investigation includes data collected in the field and can relate to any part of our course content. This unit is worth 20% and assessed by a written project/ geographical investigation, marked by teachers and moderated by the Board.
