Geography

Course summary

“Geography at Queenswood offers a stimulating insight into politics, economics, sociology, natural systems and world issues.” Geography at A-Level appeals to the student with an enquiring mind who is interested in the world beyond the classroom, and wants to acquire skills which are varied and transferable to the 21st-century international workplace. This is an exciting new syllabus: students build on their GCSE knowledge to explore relevant contemporary themes such as global climate change and the implications of economic globalisation. There has never been a better or more important time to study Geography. Expectations of independent study: At A-Level all students will complete tasks set after every lesson. They will also be expected to write up a field work investigation after practical field work. Extensive reading of articles and newspapers will enable access to the higher grades.
