Course summary

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.
