Geography is a living science that studies both the complexity of the interaction of natural forces and man-made phenomena. From understanding the ecosystem of a pond to the outer-reaches of the atmosphere, from how we find our place in Bromsgrove to land use in Egypt and the Amazon, a diverse array of models and numerical techniques are used. The variety of how and where a geographer works, in the classroom and in the field, conveying ideas both in prose and statistics, is one of the attractions of the subject to both students and their potential future employers alike.
For automatic entry into the Sixth Form a minimum of eight grade Bs (6 point average) at IGCSE/GCSE is required. If students fall short of this mark by gaining some C grades, an equivalent number of higher grades in other subjects may be acceptable. Most of our pupils work towards achieving the IB Diploma or three A Level subjects. Slightly above the eight B grade hurdle and certainly below it, a different programme of study may be more appropriate and each case will be considered individually. Ideally pupils will gain at least a grade A (7 points) at IGCSE/GCSE in a subject (or a related subject) they wish to study at IB Higher Level or for A Level, and certainly they should not score less than a B grade. For Mathematics, Modern Foreign Languages and the Sciences, A grades (7 points) at GCSE or IGCSE are expected.
