Geography is a very popular option subject at GCSE. Here, pupils study a number of contemporary Geographical themes. Physical geography includes study of river and coastal environments as well as examination of ecosystems. Furthermore, there is nearly an entire topic devoted to climate change and the associated causes and impacts which provides a very modern feel to the qualification. Human geography examines topics of cities, resource management and global development. The latter topic, specifically, grapples with the concepts of underdevelopment and foreign aid which allow Repton pupils to gain a unique perspective on the world around them.
Entry to the Sixth Form is subject to a minimum requirement of 5 GCSEs at Grade 6 unless there is a compelling reason to modify this requirement, and in any event, where this is necessary it will usually lead to the applicant being offered a BTEC or BTEC with one A Level as a Sixth Form course. Candidates must achieve at least a Grade 6 at GCSE in any subject to be studied at A level, and a Grade 7 in the case of Mathematics, any Science or a Modern Foreign Language.
