Geography

Entry Requirements

The most important requirement to study this subject beyond GCSE is a genuine interest in the world in which we live. Contemporary issues dominate throughout this course and so an interest in current affairs is important. A good pass grade at GCSE is desirable. It is possible to start the Sixth Form course without having taken Geography in Year 11, provided a good set of GCSE passes has been achieved and there is a strong interest in the subject. Students will be expected to have the skills of accurate written expression, simple numerical and graphical ability, and a willingness to tackle practical work. At present Geography is combined with every other subject in the curriculum. It has been successfully combined with Science and Art based subjects and can act as a bridge between both areas.
