Geography is a subject for those who are interested in the world around them. It equips us with the skills, knowledge and understanding to satisfy our curiosity about landscapes and cities, ecosystems and societies. With our planet and its people changing at an unprecedented rate, there has never been a better or more important time to develop a strong global awareness. e A Level Geography course tackles a wide range of engaging issues, on scales ranging from the local to the global. In Physical Geography, we explore the evolution of coastal landscape systems, examine the fragile balance of the water and carbon cycles, and assess the risks posed by earthquakes and volcanoes. e Human syllabus considers how the identity of a place develops, the geography of disease, contemporary migration crises and global variations in access to human rights. Fieldwork is an essential and enjoyable element of Geography and in recent years our pupils have beneted from trips to the Sussex coast and East London.
