Geography is stimulating, inspiring and challenging. It provides pupils with the ability to view social, economic and environmental issues from a wider perspective, as well as understand core physical processes which shape the Earth. Studying A-Level Geography at Wisbech Grammar School is more than just the study of a science; it provides an insight into understanding the world around us through the contemporary nature of the issues it tackles. Enrichment opportunities such as pupil conferences, fieldwork, and the Geography Discussion Group enable pupils to broaden their understanding of the curriculum as well as the wider world.
Academic assessment will be based on GCSE predictions and results. Pupils wishing to enter the 6th Form to study A-levels or BTECs should have a minimum of 7 GCSEs, including English and Mathematics, at levels 5 or above and at least three, usually in the subjects to be studied, at level 6 or above. Pupils with lower grades may still be offered a place in the 6th Form to study alternatives to A-levels dependent upon individual areas of expertise and aptitude.
Assessment will involve three exams and the coursework investigation; papers 1 and 2 test knowledge of core units and geographical skills, whilst paper 3 covers a synoptic investigation of a geographical issue. The coursework investigation will contribute 20% towards the final grade.
