Geography

Course summary

The Geography department at Bromley High aims to introduce and develop the concepts of physical, human and environmental geography through the use of a range of places at different scales and on different continents. The use of maps, photographs ICT, GIS and fieldwork allows students to foster their geographical skills and independent research with an enquiry-based approach. Our A-level Geography qualification develops students’ understanding of physical and human geography from a local through to a global scale. They develop practical fieldwork skills as they explore and think critically about the interactions between people and the environment and the issues arising. The course is balanced about physical and human geography, with the integration of analytical and evaluative skills throughout. 20% of the qualification is coursework that students complete following a field trip to Dorset where they collect their primary data.
