Geography

Course summary

In today’s rapidly changing world, there is arguably no more important time to be studying Geography. A Level geographers learn to see the bigger picture as they make connections between diverse physical systems, environments, and human populations. They engage critically with contemporary issues in a wide range of places, applying their geographical knowledge, understanding and skills to make sense of the world around them. Pupils learn fieldwork skills through a residential trip to the Lake District, and are equipped with research and writing skills as they undertake a field work investigation of their own design. Studying Geography in Sixth Form is an enjoyable, stimulating and challenging experience as pupils develop a more in-depth understanding of the world and acquire a range of skills which will prove valuable whatever path they choose to take beyond A Level. Geography’s varied nature makes it an excellent compliment to a broad range of other subjects.
